Mr. Pushbutton came over today and solved the car starting problems. The cotton covered wire that connects to the points needed replacing, there was some exposed copper wire grounding the unit out. Also we matched the wiring to the cap in the photo which on our car was one cylinder off. We removed the number one plug and we bumped the engine over until we were on that cylinder. Removing the cap showed the rotor was one cylinder off. We removed the wires from the cap one by one and moved them one position. The car started great and has been timed. Thanks to all for your quick help and suggestions. Especially our own Mr. Pushbutton.

PS. Mr. Pushbutton brought back to me a restored 1956 limit switch that he worked on. I recommend his work to all of you.
