<VV> 63 Spyder Ingnition

[Jim Bannister]

Bruce,
What are the chances that the new points are gapped incorrectly and not
opening.  This would cause the coil to dray current 100% of the time which
might lead to the resistor getting hot.  Maybe it just burned off the
collected spider webs etc.

Only received one reponse about puff of smoke  and burning smell from the 
balast resistor on my 63 Spyder. Does anyone know why this may be 
happening? I have replaced plugs, wires, points. condensor, coil, and 
resistor. Wiring seems to be correct - 
yellow to + coil, black to - coil, brown to resistor, brown from resistor 
to + coil, condensor to + coil, black from Dist to - coil. 

I have not started the car yet, just want to be sure everything is set 
before doing so.

Thanks -Bruce
