ok killed the battery again going to have to souce a new one i think. pennies very tight

 

have put it on charge again going to use the victor on tomorrow and try.

 

now still not sure on how to do the thing with the ht lead did try today but think the battery was to weak and did not seam to work so was not sure if i was doing it right

if your coil says "electronic ignition" on it its wrong lol anyway,

 

check the spark directly from the coil, if its weak there change the coil, point & condenser.

if its strong there but weak at the HT leads, start looking at the distributor cap (including the tiny carbon tip in the middle), rotor arm, and ignition timing... if the distributor timing is too far out, the spark will barely reach from the rotor arm to the point on the distributor cap, which results in the edges bieng burnt to a crisp and a cap that lasts 5mins. then obviously the plugs. if theres still a weak spark after all then either you are setting the points wrong, or there is a bad earth to the coil or something
