Reply To: Timing Question

[Yellowstone]

Thanks. Yes. When the chirping or constant beeping stops then the point has opened. The point never really opens. I wore a headlamp and got my eyeball down there. Ha. I did clean the points. I wiped them. Then I even used a little very fine sand paper and cleaned with clean paper. When you say mag plate sloppy, do you mean its dirty? It was pretty clean but I wiped it down with a little carb cleaner when it was naked. I believe I assembled them right. I can get them to open when the timing tool isn’t lined up. When the “top” on the drive shaft is lined up that point.
