Pertronix electronic conversion worked very well. Reo is running good. Thanks again to everyone for your time and help

Thank you, that forum looks great. I had my parts days too, about 10 years in Chrysler parts

Great, thanks ! Pertronix is setting me up with electronic ignition for it which I'm cautiously psyched about. I'd still like to find points for it to keep as a backup though. Thanks in-advance for looking. I'll take 'em if you have 'em. In-addition to what's pictured there is a separate...

OK it looks like it's the points. Lessons learned.... 1. Evidently to answer my original question, if the points are worn enough to keep the motor from starting, they might (did in my case) still pass the test of showing on/off voltage at the coil when turning the motor over slowly. 2. Clean...

Thanks but nope, I found some others on ebay that I might be able to make work. Actually when hunting-down parts for the Reo I often ended-up with tractor stuff though

When replying earlier I missed your post, I am very Hey when replying to the others earlier I skipped your post, then I had to go somewhere and I'm just getting back on. I'm sorry. I don't take it lightly that guys devote their time to helping others. I DID try what you said at 11:57 and...

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...

Basically tried all of this. With points closed I have .400-ish volts at the points terminal. I also bench-tested the dist carefully with multimeter and confirmed no illegal shorts to ground. BTW I did this because when removing dist for inspection I left the ignition on and saw the dist...

Research said it should work without a condenser but the points would burn out quickly. Since I still have no spark with the condenser removed I'll put it back in. Interestingly I looked at old pictures of the truck and it appears the coil was wired the other way, with the ignition switch wire...

Thank you your first sentence says maybe it is the points. Cleaned the points with sandpaper, no change. Per your suggestion I tried a new wire from the dist to the coil, no change. Thank you.

NO spark, tried cleaning the points. Thanks for the reply

This is on my late Dad's 1922 Reo Speedwagon (Mitch Amatrudo - 1922 Reo Speedwagon) No spark. Tried all basic ignition troubleshooting. 6v power to coil when ignition switch is on. Known good coil that started another vehicle fine. Known good coil wire. Power going to points., etc. Here's...

My '70 340 factory tach works. I have the RTE circuit board and I converted the car to electronic ignition (Chrysler orange box).

I bought RTE tach board and voltage limiter 3 or 4 years ago and I'm just-now getting the car back together. Just wanted to say that I emailed Saturday afternoon about a problem with calibrating the tach board and got a response at 10pm Saturday night. Tom was very helpful and offered a fair...
