Having a problem with my 8n. I have replaced the front mount distributor, points plugs, ignition switch, new main resistor and new In line resistor, It ran fine but last fall it got hard to start. Put a jumper wire across the in line resistor and it started right up. Take the jumper wire off and it ran fine, it even would start without it. Now it runs ok for a while, the starts to cut out and seems to run on about 1 or 2 cylinders, it is worse under load., the it will come out,of it and run ok. When it is missing it spews water out the radiator cap but it is not hot. I know I overfilled it but funny it spews only when missfiring. When I put the jumper wire back on the resistor it seems to run ok. This is the second in line resistor I have put on it, rated at 1.2 ohms. It seems like this is electrical, but could it be fuel related? Any suggestions?
