    well, the points don't seem to be burnt, I jiggled some wires under the dash (near the ign switch) and it seemed to make a difference for a minute.

    I think I am going to try to bypass some wires and see if there is any change.

    Hot wire it with a wire from the + post to the resistor, that bypasses all the car's wiring that may be causing the problem. Narrows down the possibilities.

    Thank you, I have been an auto parts man since 1984 and did not want to believe I got a defective part. I did however, it turned out that the reman dist I got was defective, cobbled one together off of 2 other FE's I have and it has never run better.
    HWORRELL and rspears like this.
