 1964Fastback, you were right,after my son checked everything with his meter.the ground wire from the dist to the coil showed bad,i replaced it,put in new points,condenser rotor button.put the cap back on and gave it a try.IT FIRED UP INSTANTLY.it has an exhaust leak,but thats no biggie.

you can see in the pic they are turned around compared to old ones. the piece on the back of the points that hits the dist cam on the shaft is in the right place to open compared to the old ones.i think they are purposely made this way.they say it fits 300-360-390 engines

F1090MV Duralast is the part number.i cant do links but if you look up this part number it shows a pic of the backwards points.they are backwards in the pic and it says they meet or improve quality,and design.i think they turned them around for ease of setting them.the new ones you can set easier because the contact is now toward the front of the dist instead of the rear

FE Technical Forum / new points backwards

i just bought some new points at autozone and when i got home to install them i noticed they bolt up the same but the contact that opens and closes is on the opposite end of the points.will they work or did they give me the wrong ones. if you lay the new ones flat on a table beside the old ones they are facing different directions.they look like they would work but they line up on the next hump on the shaft.

my son brought his volt meter over today.im getting power to the coil and the coil is good but its losing everything through the points and ground in the dist.i just bought new points and they are backwards.DOES THAT MATTER. the contact is on the opposite end than the ones in the dist.they look the same other than being backwards.WILL THEY WORK or did they give me the wrong points.

i have been using my bore scope everywhere i can.so far the only rust i have seen was under the pass side valve cover,near number 4 cylinder,very minimal.number 4 piston and cyl walls looked good through the plug hole with my scope.i took the carb off.it looks good and the intake was clean under the carb. i cleaned and oiled my rockers and put them back on. im going to put new plugs in it,change oil,fresh gas to the carb,check points.and if everything goes well im going to see if it will run.
