One side of the points looks alright, while the other is not so much. Either way, you lost spark and these points are very questionable to me and most likely the issue. I would buy a new set of points and a new condenser. Better yet, consider these electronic modules made by pertronix or hotspark (the Chinese knockoff).
Actually buy both, the electronic module seems to work very well with our cars IMO, but are susceptible to failure if you leave the ignition key on with the engine not running. Having a spare backup in the glove box would be a good thing, so you wouldn't be stranded. |

Cleaned points with point file, cleaned contact inside rotor cap going to the coil and it started. I'm having issues with fuel pressure regulator. If the hoses are connected to the regulator, the engine stalls and also it doesn't accelerate. I will be looking into those electronic modules. Thanks again for all your help. I'm open to any suggestions regarding the pressure regulator (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |
