      Thanks Archie.
      
      Should have thought of that.

Re: Induction leak
      
      One way is to first put an air hose from your compressor to the inlet  
      and blow while holding it by hand - avoiding possible excessive  
      pressure buildup.  Then as suggested use a soap solution to find the  
      leak.
      
      As for timing, a light won't work.  The P lead is either grounded  
      through the points or is grounded through the primary of the coil -  
      they are in parallel.  The coil is only a couple of ohm resistance at  
      the most.  What I do is use a fairly sensitive ohmmeter (I've used  
      both digital and analog ones for this purpose) and look VERY  
      carefully for a change in resistance.  It will go from a short to  
      almost a short when measuring the resistance of the P-lead connection  
      to ground.  Don't leave it hooked up if you turn the engine at any  
      speed as the voltage spike created might fry the ohmmeter.  This is  
      not nearly as handy as the normal buzz-box, but it works just as  
      accurately.
