I am puzzled.  My newly acquired TR3A has been converted to negative  ground, 
and it ran when it left the PO.  I have replaced points, condensor,  rotor, 
and cap in preparation for it's first start under my ownership.  It  will not 
fire.  When I connect my VOM to the neg (neg ground remember) wire  to the 
dizzy and to the block and crank, the ohmmeter stays pegged all the way  and 
does 
not bounce as one would expect as the points open and close.  When  I 
inspected the new points there is no apparent short, and when I put one  VOM 
contact 
point on the white wire/condensor post and the other one on the  spring and 
manually open and close the points it does just what it is supposed  to do when 
you crank. The ohmmeter needle bounces from one end of the scale to  the other, 
indicating there is no short in the points.  What am I  overlooking?
