My baby is up on blocks right now.  The wheel cylinders requested 
attention, which has been given.  About ready to let her back down 
and fire it up, but I seem to have lost the fire?

I have a TR3 1/2 A.  Frame, body, tranny are 3 equipment.  The motor 
is CT73965, which I think makes it about a 1965 TR4A motor, right?

Anyway, I can't get any spark to the points so far.  I have 13 volts 
at the switch side of the coil, very low volts (3-4) at the 
distributor side of the coil.  I don't have any manuals, just try to 
sort out all the details as I go along, so I am stuck right now.  I 
switched out the points and the condensor, no change.  

I frankly don't know whether I have a TR3 or TR4 distributor, though 
I assume 4.  Suggestions, questions etc are welcome.  If I can get 
the fire back, I will get back to the starter problem which is one of 
the reasons the 3 went back in the garage.  I welcome basic 
directions on tracing Mr. Electron from the switch side of the coil 
to wherever he is disappearing.

Thanks,

Geezer
