Well, I really did want to get the Lucas Sports coil on after hearing about
its benefits and because I was convinced that the existing coil had failed.
But turns out that I have the screw in type of leads and the Sports needs
push in.
I had been convinced that the coil was at fault because when the engine
failed last night I spent ten minutes replacing the condenser, points and
rotor and still got no ignition.
So this morning, back in with the old coil after scraping the lead and coil
contacts nice and shiny (they were badly oxidized), and another look at the
Green and Haynes manuals for ideas, whereupon I discovered that I had
improperly secured the condenser and LT wires to the contact breaker
terminal. Having put that right I was able to start instantly.
