    Mumbles, One would have thought A-80 would be found after
    A-75 in the list. I can’t see stuff on the grocery store shelf
    when it’s right in front of me either!

    Bill, Good idea with the tungsten carbide.
    I’ll have to experiment sometime.

    I did not find any un-used points from my
    LT & DT Johnson projects, so I’m going to
    use the contact from the Model A Ford points
    for now, but will scrounge up the correct points
    to have on hand.

    The old square / rectangular condensers
    tested at .28 and .29 mfd. Believe I read
    that .22 is correct for the A-80.
    I have two .22 axial caps, but the trick
    will be to see if I can install them in the
    original spot on the bottom side of the mag plate.
    On the axial caps, does it matter which end is
    "grounded"?
    Thanks.

    Prepare to be boarded!
