I don't think that would cause your coil to overheat. My manual (for the M135) shows that those are tied into the governor. Both lines come from the carburetor/governor and run around the back of the engine, then hook to the distributor. Possibly cause a vacuum leak?? I'm not sure though.

Could you describe for me how to do this? I would really like to learn how to do it properly. Seems like it could be a little tricky with all the moving parts.

That is awesome! Your truck sounds really good.

Sorry for taking so long. My scanner is not wanting to work or I would just post up the pages you need. Go to this link, open the TM and go to pages 155-157. This will tell you how to test the distributor. Page 222 shows how things are supposed to be hooked up in the distributor. Keep in mind...

When I get home this evening, I will look up in my TM how to test. There is a way but I don't remember the process without the manual. The test works. I knew I had a condenser fail, replaced it with another one that was supposed to be good and still the same issue. That is when I tested by the...

Could you post a picture of the inside of the distributor? I am curious to see if it is the same as the M135. If so, I will compare it to what I have and we will see. If the same, my TM tells how to test everything. I had to go through that too. It was a condenser. (This was before the cap cracked.)

Have you looked for small cracks or burn marks in your distributor cap? My M135 acted like that and turns out it was the distributor cap. The crack was so small I could barely see it, but it was enough to cause me a lot of problem.

Post up a video of it running when you are ready to drive if you can.

Where are you getting your new cork seals for the slot from or are you going back with something different?

That is a neat truck. Keep up the good work!! This reminds me of everything I have been doing to my 1952 M135. It is really rewarding when things are working right.
