Pushed her home yesterday
The old.points were wore out. I put the in back in 2003. They only required adjustment a couple of times. That's where the dwell wouldn't set.
The old points wouldnt allow for adjustment higher than 28 degrees, it warranted replacing them.
The dwell meter is fine and works like it has since the 70s, no it doesnt need replacing.
The goal is 32 degrees on each side.The new points the dwell was near perfect with the initial gap set and required no additional adjustment.
When replacing the points, The eyelet on the grounding wire fell off and I replaced it with a new eyelet.
Distributor cam was lubed with a few drops of 20wt and a few drops added to the oiler as well.
Found the distributor cap tab loose, when I pulled it back out. That would onlu cause.slightly inconsistent timing.
Just found that positive side contact is now also grounded. When I find the cause of that the problem will be solved
