Ford flathead V8 faulty distributor points

[jack neville]

I've had all my three flatheads on electronic ignition for ages. Set em and forget em.

Jack, my ignition points should have been "set and forget" too. They were NOS and the vehicle only does a few hundred miles a year. It's little more than a yard truck. I had a right to expect never to touch the points again in my life.

Jack, what plug leads are you running? Pertronix stipulate suppression leads with the Ignitor II and Ignitor III kits, however I've been told the copper core leads can even cause problems with the Ignitor I kit.
