Until of course, you can't figure out why the car won't start after a tune-up, and your friend points out the new-looking rotor laying on the fender ! Randall CONFIDENTIALITY. This electronic mail a

I am puzzled. My newly acquired TR3A has been converted to negative ground, and it ran when it left the PO. I have replaced points, condensor, rotor, and cap in preparation for it's first start under

Are you saying it indicates zero ohms, or infinite ohms ? I don't understand ... the white wire should go to the + terminal on the coil, not the condensor. Sounds like there is not a good connection

zero ohms coil, not the condensor. Good call. The flex wire has been replaced with a piece of white wire that has been left sufficiently long so as to coil once and absorb the flex. It is in the rig

I just took a minute and checked this out. Key on, points closed, no voltage at the neg terminal on the coil. I am testing terminal to ground. (reminder, this is a neg ground car). 12v at the pos te

Ok, using the additional information, I just re-read your original post. The advice you copied was simply wrong ... the two wire connections go UNDER the top insulator, meaning they are connected di

This is all exactly backwards ! It is the post in the center, and the nut on top, that are grounded. The wires are _supposed_ to connect to the spring, which is also the connection to the moving poi

Assuming it was the sequence of that 'layer cake' of connections and insulators that secure the points... most of us have made that mistake at some time or another. Now you get to remember this momen
