    When useing resistor it goes between the switch and coil. Not coil and dist.

    Messing with the timing without a timing light caused me to sit around for about an hour waiting to recharge the battery enough to restart the car. I'll drag out a twelve volt battery and see if I can get my light to work. This car is really sensitive to any timing changes it seems. I don't understand what UDC means with the timing, the manual calls for 0-6 UDC. First I want to see where it is and if it's steady. The vacuum shows really steady on the gauge. I do have some blow by though so a ring job may be in the works.

    you have to know if that new coil has a built in resistor or not, if it does and you put another on you cut it back too much. Get the spark to the plug working with a 1/4 inch or so jump from the wire to the plug. With out that anything you do is wasted effort.THEN it's time to see if the timeing is right,advance working . Slow down,you'll get there faster.

    I think that is my problem right now. I am going to remove the resistor because the coil does have an internal one. Test that then proceed to the next step. Thanks. I will post the results.

    UDC= Upper Dead Center = Top Dead Center

    HI LANCE,been a lot of good ideas and all are possable solutions, But I have ALLWAYS found it maybe slower, but get better results following the sequence of events on anything, when you hit a bump, fix it then go to the next event. STAY ON TRACK AND HANG IN THERE BUDDY!
