Heres a thought, It has the cold start primer pump,are these known to leak air around the piston packing or seals? Ive had trouble with these on construction equipment but am not familiar with the military ones. What do you need to do the vacum test on the lines?

The guy who did the filter change probably did't know what he was doing. LOL I see you found the site.Great pepole on here and I'm sure you will get alot of your ?'s ansered. Fred

It was just a bunt set of points, cleaned em good enough to get her runing. One step closer, thanks guys!

Thanks recovery, I dont know what I was thinking.1952 has to have points. Ill pull it apart, check points and test the coil.Ill post what it was soon as I find out.

Thanks maccus Ill get some manuals for it, alot of good info. recovery-Whats the everything else the ciol sits next to? points- cond ? Anything that should be serviced? Ive got a hot lead running from the ign to the coil. It has a waterproff conection on the side of the dist.

recovery- the dist and coil are one piece, some kind of mechanical or magneto type. It has one hot wire feeding it.I dont know what it is yet and didnt want to take it apart till I learn more about it.

Im new to the site and first wanted to say hellow to everyone. I just bought a 52 gasser [w/continental I believe] that Im trying to get running. The dist looks like a magneto type W/wires threaded onto sparkplugs and is getting power but not putting out spark. Thanks in advance for any help...
