Re: Distributer-points are at 12:00

Do both cars have the same points or is one original and the other modern? Did one have the spark lever advanced and the other retarded when you looked at them?

You have pretty much answered the question. One of you has the original set up condenser within the distributor body and the other person has a modern plate. Both of adjusted properly will let the car run just fine.
