I got some Mexican made Blue Streak ignition parts and installed them today. New coil, points and condenser. I also installed a new set of hotter plugs (Autolite 46 - Made in China).

I replaced the coil to points wire, the old one looked ok, no cracks or breaks in the insulation and tested good but its 61 years old. It looked like it was something like 22 gauge and I put in 18 gauge.

I also reinstalled the original rotor. I compared it to the new Standard Motor rotor and it was slightly longer. Maybe 1/16", don't know if that matters but I put the old longer one in.

It fired right up. It runs better but still has a slight miss. At normal temp I can idle it at spec of 450 rpm in gear. In gear running at 450 RPM there IS NO MISS but put it in park, the idle goes up to about 550 and the slight miss comes back in. The miss gets worse with higher engine speeds. BUT - much better than before.

I may try swapping out plug wires tomorrow.
