Featured Hot Rods From Troubleshooting Wiring to Ignition Hell

Good plan.
I was working as a line mechanic in the 70s for a Ford dealership and one day I had to change a turn signal switch in a T-bird. Cut the wires at the plug and pulled 'em out .......went to the parts dept and got a new Ford switch. SURPRISE! all of the wires were completely different colors from the original. I didn't make book on that job but I invented some new cuss words.

 

Aren't you forgetting that the losing side were using points ignitions too? Someone having won with points is hardly a selling point when the other half of the users lost using the same.
The statistics gets even worse if you went to the race track back in the day, the winner would have been running points, but everyone else were also running points and there were far more losers than winners, so statistics say running points is more likely to make you lose.

Anyway. Points ignitions work, most of the time. So should other types do, but when there are issues in those they may be harder to pinpoint.

 

LOL. Now that is a good explanation.
I find MOST of the time my unsolvable problems are looking me in the face every time I look in the mirror.
