Default Re: points firing

The ford duel point system is a very good design. It works best when its set up properly on a distributor machine, but there are " home remedy's" also if you search. Originally, you wanted to clean the points to try and get some spark. I agree with this if you have owned the car for while, and know when the last time the dizzy ( sorry Lawson ) was serviced, and then would know for a fact that the points may only have some scuzz on them from winter storage etc. You will know once you look at them, are they burnt badly, or just not making contact. points are hard, trying to reshape burnt points with a file makes no sense to me, and if you do not know the history of the car, sending the whole unit off to one of our re builders makes the most sense to me. My cars with a Bubba dizzy and skips coil start on one revolution winter or summer
