All,

Short preamble before the question:

So this last weekend, I replaced the points and condenser on my 74.5 B.

Since then, I've been suffering from intermittent misfiring.  Now, it
seem to point to ignition rather than fuel as the tacho jumps all over
the place during the misfire.

I've gone back to the old condenser in case the new one was breaking
down, but the problem persists.  For the hell of it I'm going to put the
original points in just so things were back to how they were.

The question: if I'm right, (and I don't have my manual infront of me)
the 74.5 were 6v coils with a ballast resistor.  Where's the resistor?
Is it resistive wire or a single component?

I'm thinking I may have disturbed some suspect wiring and can be sure by
going straight from the ballast resistor (temporarily at least).

So much for preventative maintenance!

Any thoughts?

Trefor
