Here's a pic of my CDI box, it is silver, not blue. Is there a way to troubleshoot this to see if it is causing the issue?
The 101 projects says points went away in 1977, not 1978. Weird. Here is a pic of my distributor with the cap pushed out of the way:
There is a small light tan wire going from the harness to the side of the distributor body, with an electrical taped junction that grounds out on the engine tin. I checked the 1" black wire in the distributor with a meter and it's fine.
