When you pull the switch, without cranking the motor, the ammeter should show a discharge of four amps if the points are closed. My experience with these engines is that if the engine is at rest, the points are almost certainly closed.

If your ammeter doesn"t show such a discharge, pull the distibutor cap and rotor and then the plastic shield inside and visually ascertain that the points are closed.

If the points are closed and you show no discharge, you have an open circuit somewhere in the ignition system.

If the system shows the normal discharge, flick the switch off, rotate the engine until the points are open, and then flick the switch on.

With the points open you should show NO discharge. If you show the same 4 amp discharge with the points open and closed the points are shorted to ground.

As Dell likes to remind us, you should get current flow when the points are closed, and spark when they open. I would STRONGLY suggest you buy a Volt-Ohm-Meter if you don"t already have one. They are very nice to have when working with electrical systems.

One other word of warning; if you"ve never operated a Super C before, you really should buy a manual right now. There are several uncommon lubrication points which novice owners often miss.

Five that come to mind are: (1) the clutch throwout bearing, which is greased with a zerk gun through the access port on the side of the bell housing; (2) the generator, which is lubricated with a few drops of machine oil through a cup; (3) the fan hub, which is lubricated the same way; (4) the starter motor, also lubricated the same way; and (5) the distributor and it"s drive, which are lubricated at two points with a zerk gun. You will probably have a port plug in the distributor housings and will have to temporarily install a zerk fitting there.

Good luck and keep us posted.
