I've searched the forum on this topic but could not find exactly what I'm looking for. Here's the issue: 73 restoration. Originally an auto trans with dual points. I've converted to manual trans but I'm utilizing the original wiring harness. All the pollution equipment has been removed. The intake, carburetors, distributor, trans/clutch parts from a 72 have been installed. Since the 72 dist. has only one points wire connection and the 73 had two, I've connected the two wires from the 73 wire harness together and connected them to the single connector on the 72 points. Would this cause a problem? The car starts ok and runs ok but is currently breaks up after a few minutes driving and higher rpms. Before I start more extensive troubleshooting to correct the issue, I want to eliminate the easy stuff first. So, the questions are: connecting the two point wires from the dual system together and connecting them as one to the single contact point on the 72 distributor OK to do? If not, which wire from the dual point harness should be connected to the distributor and which one should be disconnected? Your input is greatly appreciated.
