Re: Ignition help I think?
Run the engine on an engine dyno to make sure it's not something in the car. Also use a basic known distributor, coil, and ignition box.

Re: Ignition help I think?
I know this can be very frustrating. Just curious, did you do any welding on the car before all your problems began ??

The pickup wires could be reversed.
Replace the ground wire. Power and ground wired directly to battery. If distributor is locked out, check phasing in the cap. |

Re: Ignition help I think?
Sorry for your problems.
People have chased what seemed to be ignition problems that turned out to be carburetor or fuel injection problems. |
