OK, I have two questions concerning my 65 Ford F250 - 300ci/6cyl. First, break lights - For some reason, my break lights only work when the ignition is on. If the key is in the off position, I have no power to the sending unit on the Master Cylinder. Checked all fuses and everything looks good. Any clue as to why this is? Where should that power be routed from?
Second question, ignition, I think... I have a standard point ignition (can't afford to go electronic yet but I will eventually) I have a fairly new set of points/condenser, new cap/rotor. Gaped points to .025 everything looks good but it wants to choke and die when you give it gas. I have swapped out the coil with no change. Wires all check good and so do plugs. I had a similar problem years ago and found out that the condenser was lose, so I checked that first, no change. Prior to yesterday, occasionally when I started it up it would run like this, then after I started it a few times it would run fine, now, it is running like crap all the time. I'm running out of things to try, any suggestions? Thanks,
-Dave
