    Ok,. I get that… the light is getting a bit brighter…. but you say, and understand I am no flipping genius, you can’t use a light or a buzz box. I flipped my Digital M/M to make noise when the points are closed and with the leads touched the non moving side of the points, and grounded to the base. I guess that is still reading ohms correct?
    It just makes noise until the points break, so my question is, how far apart do the points get before it will stop buzzing?

    This question has got my interest piqued as I do understand the "lift" of the cam will get me the .02 but by making sure both sets of points open 180 degrees apart will allow motor to run so much better, than just looking for them to open then setting the points to .02 gap
