I didn't give up! It doesn't start but I am learning alot. I didn't know what continuity was or own a multi-meter. But I do now and now I do!

Please bear with me, in return I promise to help other newbies if I get this thing started (plus my eternal gratitude of course!).

I feel as though I have some 'strange' wiring in my car. I will post photos, but remember the car was running when I drove it in.

1) Continutity; I traced the wires and I believe they all have continuity where they should. I will post pictures to confirm which wire leads to where.

2) The problem is, not all of my wires are 'wires', some of them are just 'shielded cable'. In particular from the CDI Box ('D') to the distributor. Spliced along with this wire was the 'green' wire (which was a ground wire). Is this correct?

3) The wire (shielded + normal wire) + green wire if it is touched, or grounded, makes the coil 'chirp'.

4) I could never get the points to spark. They are beat up, I used a very fine sandpaper on them to clean them, but no go. I ordered new parts.

Pictures to follow!
