model t truck

[hooverc]

We have 1917 model t truck. It have a 1967 jeepster commando v-6 225 engine in it.
It keep burning up the points in it. We have replaced the points in the Dis Cap the plug wire and the condenser and the resistor. But keep burning up the points in it. Please we need help on it.

Check your distributor ground. Might need to run a wire from distributor body to engine or battery ground.

If it was mine I would put a Model T engine back in.

Try swapping the wires on the coil.

Yeah, that's a medical condition known as transplant rejection, which often results in the death of the patient. Get that cast iron lump out of the engine bay and deliver it to the nearest boat dock pronto!

Is there an oil cup on the dist upper bearing? Sounds like well oiled points... ws

 

[big job]

You need a resistor before the coil amen!

Let me guess, 12 volt battery and 6 volt ignition. Doh!!!!
