Got the magneto back from http://www.masonracingignitions.com/ of Pa .Pat is great to deal with total got why i didnt want the outside cleaned or touched .
Even with the 90 plus degree heat i had to see what the car wanted to now it had spark .
Well it made some noise after 40 years . It wants to run just needs a little more .The starter was not happy turning the high comp motor.Have video on my facebook .Will try and post it hear soon.
