Reached success….
autopsy results
– initial spark tester (cheapy from Amazon… see pict.) caused most of the grief it seems The clip wire had continuity to the frame yet measurements on the adjustable tip gave all sorts of results from 0 ohms to the clip or anything in between into the Meg ohms mostly due to what appears to be loosy goosy threads on the adjustable post ….causing poor grounding . I switched testing to my by alligator clips for secure grounding of the plugs
– I recleaned… again the both sets of points and swiped in some acetone to remove any residue
– I replaced one capacitor (frayed a bit entering the casing) on the bottom plug circuit although I can’t say if it was the capacitor or just recleaning the points that did it…
gap tested my sparks from both circuits with a plug having no side electrode (home made surface plug for now by clipping the side electrode)
end result … strong sparks with tools I have in hand for now… I will be getting myself a better quality gap tester 🙁
thanks to all who chipped in …. turkey tomorrow !
