Thanks to all for your time with this. If you have 8 or 10 hours with nothing to do, look at my posts of stuff with my Duster. I'm the guy who seems to always run-into severe head-scratchers that sometimes just can't be explained. The distributor oil leak is a perfect example. Nobody believed me but it was proven 100% to be the problem.
This thing with the Reo is basic mechanics. As always I tried lots of stuff and did lots of research before posting. Tried all your suggestions. I'm gonna assume that the problem is the points, since I've ruled-out anything else.
ONE MORE THING I discovered when trying all your tips....If I hold the coil wire in my hand when cranking I get an eye-opener of a zap, but still no visible spark or arc coming from the end of the coil wire to a good ground, also checked at the spark plug and nothing.
I might go to my good local parts guy and see if I can find a set of points to modify enough for further troubleshooting, and/or call Pertronix and see if they can make me an electronic setup. THANKS AGAIN !!
