Got Sweet Pea all back together. She wouldn't start. No spark.
Had voltage at the voltage reducer, fore and aft.
Had voltage at the coil at the "+" and "-" lugs.
Had voltage at the distributor.
Had voltage at the points.
No spark when manually opening the points. BINGO.
Burnished the points with a business card and got spark while opening the points.
Put the cap back on and she started right up.
Brand new everything on that 848 head. Valve seats, stainless steel exhaust valves, new intake valves, new valve guides.
This engine has never run smoother.
A plan has come together, finally.
The best advice which was offered on this thread was, "Find another machine shop." I did. Thank you all.
