Hello All,

No serious trouble shooting, yet. I did check the coil ballast resistor and am suspicious of it because there is no voltage drop. The resistance is small, less than one Ohm, and my analog VOM cannot accurately measure this. I will get a digital VOM and see what readings I get. I ordered a new resistor, and a new point set and condenser.

I have been busy with some other projects. Helping O_D with captions for the PAC site's showroom photos (1935-42 Juniors); helping another Salado member with revising classes for next year's Meet; and getting the 2007 Honda S-2000 ready to sell. I am thinking about acquiring a 1963 or 64 Avanti.

Oh yes, I do have a filter installed before the electric fuel pump. I fastened the Carter electric pump at the top of the frame kick up above the rear axle, and used one of the rubber bumper bolts to secure the clamp to the frame and ground connection. The electric fuel pump is working, but I need to check for flow and pressure on it and the mechanical one.

Thanks for your interest during this inactive time.
