The points look fine.
Not sure how to troubleshoot on this positive ground system, very confusing
The swich only has one wire on it, so i guess the swich only conects the wire to ground when activating?
When measuring between the "in" wire on the ignition housing and the ignition housing itself. Is there suppose to be conection all the time? Isn't the conection point supposed to be isolatet from the housing? I'm thinking I could have leakage to ground somewhere.
positive ground only means the positive post of the battery is tied to chassis. otherwise.. the electrics work the same... forget the positive ground thing.
as far as the points looking good thus they must be good?
I wish I had that kind of super vision.
use an ohm meter or test lamp to check them.. then jumper out the key switch and hot wire the coil.
see what it gets you...
with a test lamp inline, and running it over.. it should blink. if it stays on.. you have a short.. perhaps at condensor.. perhaps at feed thru insulator in side of dizzy.. if lamp never comes on. you are not making good contact.
