Just installed 050 dizzy from bus depot. Switched out the points to a used set of pertronix that I had in an 009. (this was the dizzy that came with my 2 liter).

The little ring and magnets came apart. I put it back together carefully, but get no fire on the #1 wire. ( kinda hard to use a timing light without it) . What could be wrong? It was running on 3 cylinders.

I put the points and condenser back, and no fire at all (used the grounded plug method to check. What is up?????
