Mark,



I am sure that there was a factory gap that produced a robust ignition spark 

when this " shower of sparks" was a new part .

That said , I am not going to instruct a person with your background on 

the deviation of such old parts and how that now that 



may be a mismatch with the original factory gap specs . 

I found that if I activated the "shower of sparks" and during this time adjusted 

the gap I was able to visually achieve a spark that was much brighter than 



what I started with . 

This dramatically improved my warm weather start problem .

Not very scientific without a proper scope but it worked .

I must give credit to Garry Pope who put me on to this fix.

That sounds good enough to me!  How did you do that, did you pull a plug and just look at the darn thing?  Sometimes the simple solution is the best!

All I did with mine Mark was hold the wire away from ground  and watch the spark jump.  The closer the points were, the closer I had to  hold the wire to ground to get the spark to jump.  When the spark jumped  about 1/2" or so, I called that " 'bout right" and closed it up.  Worked  perfectly after that.  It's the equivalent of what you would say as a  gov't/civil servant....."close enough for government work".

That's correct .

I pulled a rear plug and closed the hangar door .

You can then see the spark very well .
