Just a little comment on one of the posts...the points are only switching battery voltage, 6 volts or 12 volts so there should be no fear that a blinding coil charge will knock you on your butt when you pry them open, and with a good condenser there shouldn't be much of a spark at all. smile

Thank you for the info on the shock hazard. I will continue to use a well insulated screwdriver for the test however. I do not trust electricity in any form. It wasn't until fairly recently that I even believed in electricity at all. I threatened not to pay the electric bill once, as I never saw it. smile
