Re: 8BA distributor will not make spark
That's about what I thought too, even though it showed continuity on the DMM. So, I:
Burnished the dist body in the clamping pad area to remove the clear coat
Removed points and dremeled off the black paint from the advance plate
Same thing under condenser case mount
Inspected the bakelite insulator from the lead in wire stud-- all good there
Put a dab of liquid electric tape between the lead in stud to power wire and case body junction just to "beef up" the existing insulator.
Still no spark.
Next step is points swap and or just rewire the dumb thing...a little frustrating to do all this on a fresh rebuild. Besides the bushing renewal, I'm essentially rebuilding the rebuild.
