[T3] Ignition problem solved


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Okay, part of my problem was legitimate, but part of my problem was me just
being a dufus.

Problem one solved:  My points were bad - not closing completely.

Problem two solved:  My distributor cap-to-coil wire was reversed (no wonder
I wasn't getting any spark by "grounding" the wire against the engine.

 : P

She still doesn't have very much power, which is frustrating after the
rebuild.  Tonight I will do a compression check to make sure everything went
hunky-dorie with the rebuild.

If the compression check comes out okay, I will likely have her towed to a
local shop for carb tuning, diagnostics, etc.  If the compression check
comes back unfavorable, I'm going to pull the engine and bring it to a
professional in Arlington, TX to "break down, inspect and rebuild."

Let's hope the compression check comes out okay.
