Engine Cutting Out! What to check?

LOL he's running points

It could be as simple as a worn distributor, a weak spring on the points, or just not set correctly AND AS MENTIONED a bad condenser. Points type systems MUST have a good condenser to fire. The condenser (capacitor) does not just keep the points from burning, it also GENERATES the spark along with the coil.

I know. It's how I bought it. I've been trying to go through it and get some things changed the way they should have been done the first time. The fuel system has been updated, added a mini tub with MT 325 tires that will hold it a lot better than the 235's it had, front disk conversion will come later, but for now, I just want to get it running good so I can get it to the track a few times before winter gets here. I've just had hangup after hangup so far. :violent1:
