Well I hope it doesn't!

If I had more time I could have worked on it
more and maybe come up with the problem.
My time is limited right now, and I have a show
tomorrow. I am usually not the guy to give up
at all on something like this. I am thinking
it either had something to do with the one wire
being "torqued" and mashed under the wiper motor,
or maybe as Carl at pertronix mentioned, something
not 100% free in the cap / adjustable area.

With more time, I think it might show what the
problem was. My no. 2 has been making a little
noise lately anyway so maybe lighter spark made
it show up even more.

It is a really nice unit, and I think in a little
bigger chassis it would fit perfect!
