Re: Too weird: now compression tester stuck?

[chymar01@xxxxxxxxxxx]

My first mopar was a '65 Dart GT 273. One day it started acting up, popping, stuttering and wouldn't run. I messed with it for days. My Grandmother told my uncle what was going on with it. The next day he came by and had it running in about 20 minutes. 
It was a bad condenser.

Gary, if you have points have you checked the gap. . It could be the points 
rubbibg block has worn down and decreased the point gap. Also corrosion of 
the point contacts will cause problems. Sometimes good looking points can 
just have to much reistance. I used to have a dwell meter that would tell 
points resistance. I don't remeber the symptoms of a bad condensor, but it 
can sure cause point problems............MO
