[Purdy Swoft]

There is a good possibility that the metal wire end of the lower plate wire is grounding out against the housing , where it connects under the points, This is a common problem with the wire setup if the tab of the wire end isn't bent and positioned just right. One advantage of the wireless lower plate is there is no wire to short out for any reason . The upper plate can be removed and replaced with no concern for wire connection. The acorn nut style connection with original style points has never given a problem in nearly 20 years in my use . I've had wire setups give problems in much less time. I'm not one to use the spark lever a whole lot and wear is kept to a minimum. Deb and I took the roadster out for a spin late this afternoon and it run really good. the wireless lower plate works for me.
