>I have another fault for this type of points that will cause the 0 volt

seen at night, it happened to me and grounded the car for a day, it was
winter so inspection after work was made in the dark, (a trick I have made
much use of before also) I could see the spark go through the nylon,
slacken
the nut and voila spark at the coil. The difference was about half a turn
on
the nut in my case so it was not really overtight just too tight for the
insulator!

Graham,
You must have torqued it down to the point that the spring had cut almost
through the nylon. And punch-through took care of the rest.
Sort of puts the lie to the old addage "if some is good more is better."
