My father inherited a '82 Ford truck from my grandfather, and like you, the local auto parts store couldnt help with anything of that age.spent a lot of time searching for answers and troubleshooting.started watching your videos and you released a lot of secrecy for my truck and you're a intelligent 🧠 young man and thank you thank you ...ported is definitely the way to go. 351w 400 heads. Totally amazing.

btw read some of the other comments idk wtf theyre talking about your buddy literally explained exactly what each of the grand total of three wires do in a coil and right where they don't let anyone get to you on the internet keep it up!

Been trying to figure out how to test a coil (other than resistance method). This is exactly what I was looking for. Short and to the point. Thanks

I am working on a forklift and have never done a points ignition before, but manually grounding the coil to make it spark was the trick I needed to troubleshoot this thing and I managed to get it working. Thank you.

Great tip. Been a long time on points, and a good refresher. Thanks for posting.

[James-kknm]

I always used a matchbook cover. Worked every time!💥

Thank you for the video I got two days to brush up on my skills I've been a long time but if I get it right I got a hell of a deal for 50 bucks 32-ft motor home no spark thank you

Very satisfying to see the old Ford drive out of the woods.

Is points like that basic across-the-board I have a 1956 Dodge Flathead 6 and I got no spark. trying to learn my way around this truck. This video look the same as to what I have

Thanks, i have a spark issue with my 1961 Comet. I will follow this and try to solve my issue. Thanks for sharing, CC Old Car Garage

Can you tell me what the capacitance (in uF) of the condenser is? I got one years ago and it measured either 0.2uF or 2uF, I can't remember which (and my capacitance meter was junk). Is this in the ballpark?
Thanks much,

[nzpatriot]

That is so freakin cool! Resurrection! :)

[dolinick]

Sir, I just got a 1968 F500 with 300 inline six. For some reason the previous owner unbolted the valve cover but it appears to have new(old) distributor cap, rotor, and points and wires and maybe spark plugs. I still need to pull out the spark plugs and test for spark.

Appreciate your video, definitely not a Ford guy but that was pretty badass.

[darrellbryant]

When putting the matchbook in between the two metal piece of the points do the Gap stay in there or does it close? Need help thanks
