Ron,
Thanks for the reply.
Read thru my first post and you'll see what i've done. The car runs pretty good with the Japanese coil except at high RPM it sometimes will miss a bit. All other parts, points, condenser, rotor, cap and wires are new. I recently bought a new Bosch blue coil(made in Brazil)hopefully to make it run better. I did nothing but switch the two primary leads and the high voltage lead to the dizzy from the Jap coil to the Bosch coil. To my surprise the motor would not start. Switch them back, fires right up.
Both coils give similar readings when checked with an ohm meter. What am I overlooking?
I;m a pretty good mechanic and have been rebuilding cars for more than 50 years and am sad to say I;m stumped so far. I don't give up easily and will eventually beat it. Just looking for some help. Tom
