So, i am quite a bit closer to having my xs back on the road, now just a matter of dealing with the wiring differences between the old pamco ignition, and the "new" points iginition...
my 78 special had a pamco installed, and the previous owner had put in mikes dual lead coil, Part #17-6822 for that.
Am I able to just leave that in for the "new" '75 motor i just mounted, with points? Or Will i need to go back and buy two replica coils? Part #17-6805
I am thinking it may make the most sense to take the pamco out of the 78 motor and put it into the new motor. But was leaning away from that if I would be able to just set the points and go... though, as I said, if I have mess around with the coils, i might as well mess around and put the pamco in, especially if it is already set up for it.... there are lots of instructions on putting a pamco in, very few on taking one out... Is it possible to set timing on a pamco without a timing strobe light??
