I had the point lead wire inside of the dizzy wear through the
insulation and short out against the dizzy body twice on one trip to
Shasta. The first time I did not realize what I "fixed". The second
time I found it and put a small piece of some thick paper in between the
wire and body until I could get some plastic tape (which I thought was
in the car) and wrap the wire with tape. When I got home I ordered a
Dave Brisco dizzy for my car.
