Are you using the correct ohm plug wires and caps? 5 ohm is whats
needed. Has to be copper stranded, not carbon fiber or whatever the new
stuff is. What does the contact point of your rotor look like? How does
the cam lobe on the distributor look like? Both your plugs won't fire at
the same time either. You only have one set of points and it will only
fire on the corresponding lobe. Do you have your plug wires on the cap
in the correct sides? #1 is on the left, coil middle and #2 on right.
Which way is the cap facing?

Guys, same old problem, but somebody has to have an idea. I've tried everything. prolem: #2 plug won't fire IF #1 plug is firing. If I unhook #1 plug (at any point) #2 works fine. I know this by watching my timing light fire or not fire What I've tried: Different plug wires Different plugs (2 sets) Different condensors (3) New distributor cap Different coils (3) Disconnecting coil + wires and connecting directly to battery + Disconnecting coil - wire from tachometer and connecting - directly to alternator What I haven't tried: new rotor ???? |
