Thanks for the feed back Andrew and I appreciate your input but I am of the mind if it run before and worked it will still work 70 + years later
I think I am still prove of that but sometimes wonder!
the 6 volt system will be staying as it was original and why spend the dollars just to make someone else happy
I just had a foggy moment or day or two and forgot about the existing resistor and then put another 6 volt coil with an internal resistor on
so now the point voltage would be about 1.4 amps and a hell of a lot less when it got hot which I believe is the problem
Thanks again
