I disconnected the stop leads from the points and the loom / anti-pop, but haven’t replaced the HV plug leads yet. I’ll check the top lead again – it looked OK (and was screwed well into the coil pin), but I’ll pull the armature plate again and have a closer look under a decent light.

There was a small copper / brass washer under the points adjuster screw that had broken, how important is it?
