223 points burning up
Hi
I just replaced and gapped the points in my 1959 f100 with a 223. The old points were corroded which caused the engine to run rough under load. When i put the new points in the pickup ran great for the test run (2 miles)but started to run rough on my second trip (4 miles). The new points have a yellowish green tint to them already. I have 12 volts to the coil with the key on. Is this too much? I have not replaced the condensor yet. How can I test my regulator? Thank you for any help.

Thanks for the response guys. Is the resistor on the fender right next to the regulator? If I replace the coil with an internal resistor coil would that accomplish the same thing?
Thanks
