I have twin 454 Crusaders that need some ignition work. Just to get it out of the way - an electronic ignition conversion is just not in the budget right now
I'm having spark issues on my stbd engine. It appears that my coil is just fine, so I'm looking at cap/rotor/points. Replacing the cap and rotor is easy enough, but I have no idea how to do points. I can put it in, I know how to adjust the gap, but I feel like there are steps I'm missing.
One last question - what is this thing, and is it supposed to be piping hot?
