I've not tested the tips you guys gave me but i did a quick inspection on the cap, the black coal thing that makes contact with the rotor is fixed. Isnt it suposed to resilient (springy) or is it only the rotor part that has to be resilient? Because then im almost sure that might be the problem.

the spring from the points dont touch the dist. case, and the contacts inside are clean. both the points and the contacts on the spring itself.

I'll wait for my new parts to arrive (hopefully on friday) and then i'll put more new stuff in, check all contacts and remove the ground cable.

Thanks for all the help so far, i'll keep you guys updated ofcourse!
