How many volts are you getting to the points cold, if 6 volts, that is what the cold reading should be.

I keep the battery on a trickle charger, so the battery has good charge (6.3 volts or so, according to my test meter) every time I try the starter. The starter turns freely when engaged. I can try setting the points wider to .020-.021, maybe tomorrow. The car is positive ground. The leads are connected to the correct terminals. With the points open, the movable arm gets 6.3 volts.
