thanks Warren for your answer, and as a matter of fact, my play is really huge
! I tried this morning to reinstall the Ignitor kit on my cleaned and reassembled distributor (but still with the same play), following the instructions of Bill Hoge from PerTronix...
Halleluia! my car runs for 5/10 seconds, then died... and no way to start again...
Disappointed, I tried several other times, but with no success... So I reinstalled my points
.
I've already read all your threads, Monsieur Warren, but this is my problem:
-erratic run at 2200 RPM on constant idle, and some very little "holes" above, though my car climbs very well to the redline
- no possibility to respect the specs about point gap, without lot of backfires and erratic run; the only it runs correctly is to reduce the point gap to a very thin gap, but the erratic behaviour still remains at 2200 RPM when you stay at this level.
I tried another coil, changed points, plugs, cap, rotor, and wires are one year old...
I agree with you , Warren , when you say that points can be as reliable as electronic ignition when everything is in good shape, but I can't find what is the mess... The only lasting issue may be to change the distributor, but I want to be sure it's the responsible fot all of that...
Merci
