HAHA i changed it because i like things to be original and as one of my friend Charlie said we like being the biggest brain in a vehicle LOL .... But to the big issue its a brand new distributor kit came with every thing except a button but thats new too wires are all new plugs are all new coil is new... worked on it last night and i'll draw you a picture of my set up hopefully you have a good imagination... hot wire from celinoid to coil.. coil ground to fender distributor ground to coil ground just to tie it in that all it will reach.. so as far as i can tell all hooked up right ... absolutly no spark well sporadic at beast but only one maybe every once in a while.. thinking since i changed every thing to new original wondering if celinoid needs to be replaced let me know what you think and last thing do you know the points gap have spacer but was told i could use a match book tried that but maybe i should be more presice thanks
