The FI dist is an excellent distributor for any application. If it won't start the engine, my guess is that there's something fundamentally wrong with the dwell or the points. Is there a gap? Are the points sticking open? Are the points dirty or burned? Can you measure close to zero Ohms to ground thru them when they are closed? - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
