[FC] Cheesey Points?

[Keith Jarvis]

I had a little trouble with mine (they're working great now), but it was
because my distributor is missing the rubber grommet that holds the 12V + as
it passes through the body. I would kick it to start, hear it engage, and
then it would just crank and crank. Check the points again, and the wire was
off. Did it three times before I realized that the wire was being pulled off
by wrapping around the shaft just enough to pop it out. Found a new grommet
and all was well in the world. The points are quite nice. Noticeably better
than the old points, but not quite as nice as my ignitor.
