Distributor Points keep burning up (score: 1): Author: "Ben Zech" <motormite@hotmail.com>; Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 12:52:14 GMT; Happy Halloween.......BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Any ideas on why a set of new points would burn up, causing backfire and failure to run. Another symptom is that the alternator keeps going from neutral p; /html/datsun-roadsters/2000-10/msg01000.html (7,883 bytes)

Horne" <horne@cs.utexas.edu>; Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 07:38:37 -0600; It is possible that the condenser is open, or the primary of the coil has some shorted turns, or the ballast esistor has been bypassed somehow.

(sorry, I could not resist that one!) I would replace the regulator and that should solve the problem.

It sounds like its intermitently going 'full on'. Lucky for you only have a 30 amp alt. Daniel 69 2000; /html/datsun-roadsters/2000-10/msg01010.html (9,340 bytes)

RE: Distributor Points keep burning up (score: 1): Author: "Gregg Robinson" <greggr@macnet.com>; Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 10:24:31 -0800; The voltage going through the points has less to do than the current. The first thing that takes points usually is a bad condenser. The coil may be incorrect for the car. Make sure you are using a co; /html/datsun-roadsters/2000-10/msg01012.html (11,161 bytes)

You have two problems with points. First: the points in the distributor are probably burning up bec; /html/datsun-roadsters/2000-10/msg01014.html (9,138 bytes)

A couple of months back, my 66 went completley wierd!!!!! I on a hunch took the regulator out of my 70, tried it, cured all!!!
