So a while ago I posted about taking on a basket case 911 project that had the engine out for a long time..

Well engine is in everything is hooked up but trying to fire this thing up and am having very intermittent spark.. The cdi box was a no go and hooked up a used msd box and now I see spark every once and a while. Looking for a little advice.. What should I check next.. Points hanging up ?

Definitely check for the points opening and closing. Make sure you have a good ground path for them, as well as for the spark.
