F-60S Points, Condenser & Timing
I have reinstalled the dash minus the instrument panel so that I could begin wiring the ignition circuit. I have installed an ignition key and I have it wired from the battery, up to the terminal strip, TS to the key, key to the ignition resistor, IR to the coil. I have flipped over the ignition resistor, voltage regulator and circuit breaker so I can work on them looking down instead of working on them looking up under the dash. The old condenser was blown and the old wiring was just a rats nest of parts, bits and pieces that was all held together with Marr connectors and black tape. I have cleaned the points, adjusted the gap, stripped, cleaned and greased the housing, reassembled and have it now in the timing jig. Tomorrow, I will follow the instructions and set up the timing. I hope to get everything reinstalled and then I can see if I get consistent spark. If I can get spark, some compression and some fuelled air, I just might have a bit of combustion!
