Sterling, by some chance did you leave the ignition on without the motor running for a while?? that will heat the points up to the point that the spring that returns the points to contact is ruined! it will get the spring hot. and of the two condensers I have found bad over the years, one was new, as the points wear the truck will gradually lose power and start to stutter a little bit going down the road, reset the points and go again. I don't know how much you intend to drive yours, but I put almost 5000 miles a year on mine, so it becomes an issue every now and again. glad you got it fixed, get some insurence and have some fun!! Dave.
