i do have a risistor, the points plate, with points, condenser,advance unit. which is all you really need to go back to points. i do have a martex electronic ign system, but if you want to stay with the electronic, which in my opinion is the way to go,you should contact dayna and tell them what is going on. the tech department is very helpfull, and they can probably replace the bad part for less money and work then switching back.
