Frying points
By Joshua Carroll - 07/30/2001 4:44:01 PM; IP 158.52.254.238
I recently bought a Mallory mechanical advance dual point distributor (25 series). For some reason I am frying the points every 2-3k miles. A set of Mallory replacement points costs $35 so I want to figure out what the hell is wrong! I am using an MSD split fire 2 coil. I am pretty sure the ignition wire has a resistor to drop the voltage to 9V after starting. Any help is greatly appreciated!
