DO YOU KNOW YOUR "WAY" AROUND A POINTS SYSTEM?

HAVE YOU CHANGED 'EM?

WAS IT RUNNING FINE BEFORE / NOW IT'S NOT / OR IS THIS A "PROJECT" YOU HAVE JUMPED ON?

HAVE YOU MOVED OR REMOVED THE DISTRIBUTOR?

DID YOU SNATCH ALL THE WIRE AT ONCE AND SORTA DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY WENT?

HOW MUCH JUICE (VOLTMETER) DO YOU HAVE AT THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THE COIL WITH THE KEY ON?

WITH THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP HUNG/ TIED OUT OF THE WAY

FIRMLY / NOT "INCREDIBLE HULK" SEE IF THE BUTTON WILL TURN WITH "FIRM" FINGER PRESSURE-LET'S NOT BREAK THE DARN THING! (IT SHOULD NOT!)

IS IT THE BUTTON INSTALLED RIGHT?

DOES THE ROTOR BUTTON TURN WHEN YOU CRANK THE ENGINE?
