Ol Yeller was running just a tad rough so I decided that today would be the day to dig into it. First things first so I pulled the plugs and checked the wires. Plugs: nice and tan. Next check the points: Closed the points and ran a piece of white paper between them. I could feel a bit of a snag on the paper so I called both parts houses intown and neither had points in stock. I figured that while waiting for them to get them I would just clean up the points that were in there. I also checked the cap, roter etc. Everything was in good shape. I took the points out, buffed them up nicely and reinstalled them, gapping them to .015 as my book says. I put the plugs back in, checked the wires, put the cap back on and was ready for the moment of truth. She spun over and not a pop. I thought that Crypty had come to Wisconsin. Nothing to do but take the cap off and try to find the problem. With the cap off it was pretty simple to see that there was no rotor where there should be one sitting. Slapping myself on the back of the head, I put the rotor where it should be, cap back on, Roger Houston, Vrooooom, we have lift off.
I'm sure that no one else in this fine group has ever done anything like that.
