Baldy: Thanks for the reply. Baldy is exactly right. The timing was extremely retarded. I just sent a reply to Stuart under Timing Marks. Take a look there for the full story. I will check the resistor for voltage. I bought a new one, and the guy at the parts counter said he didn't know what I needed, but the one he sold me was the one most people used on old vehicles, and tractors such as 8 and 9 N Fords, so it is probably ok.
