Hooler1, so there is a happy ending. When I did the blinking test light test, it would not blink. That is what I would expect if the points were open (like you said). However, the light would not blink when they were seemingly closed either (off the high point of the cam). I barely touched the movable point when they visually looked closed, and the light came on. So I changed the point gap from .016 to .015, thinking that was still within the acceptable range. BAM! Truck started in a split second. I guess that thousandth of an inch was just enough to keep the points from contacting to complete the circuit. Anyways, it's all good now. Thanks so much for your help! David
It’s a great feeling
