Thanks everyone. I will recheck the points and go back to the online manual to make sure they are correct. I actually bought two new sets, so will swap in the other just for good measure. I just bolted the spring on the points to the tab where the wires from the condenser and the coil goes.

Questions:

How do I check if the coil is good?

Will my old dwell meter I used to use on my 64 nova with a 283 work on this engine? Seeing the dwell change as I rev it up would tell me a lot

How many volts actually goes to the coil on these? I know on 12 v points engines (all experience was small block chevys and old straight sixes) we had a resistor that cut the 12 v down to around 6-7 volts to the coil, correct?

I took pictures of how things are set up so will see if I can post those.

Thanks
