     Veedubbers,
        You may remember I was asking about the trigger contacts on a 69 
     fastback.  I had a chance to work on it and I wanted to share my 
     results so everyone might gain a little???  
     
        I will start off with the problem:  
        I was only firing on two cylinders at an idle.  When I opened the 
     throttle I would begin firing on all cylinders about 2000 rpm.
        
        I checked for spark and found it at all cylinders.
        
        Using Muir's test I tested the trigger contacts.  One ohm when 
     closed and infinite when open on one set.  Seventy-five ohms when 
     closed infinite when open.
     
     
     Solution:
        I removed the trigger contacts and noticed a type of oxidation on 
     one set of contacts.  I used an Exacto(R) knife to scrape off the film 
     and then proceeded to reinstall the contacts.  
     
     Result:
        She fires on all four cylinders at an idle.  Don't have to keep the 
     pedal pushed down a little to keep it running.

I would rather attempt something great and 
Fail than attempt nothing and succeed.
