4 hours in the barn.....new wires (copper core) new plugs,new distributor cap,and new rotor. Whole lot of nothing. Remove coil wire from cap and spark jumps almost an inch to the block. But no fire to the plugs. Had 3 rotors so my wife filed one a bit and bent the metal strip down a bit and we had fire from all 4 plugs. Tried to fire it up and got a couple terrible back fires out the exhaust pipe! LOUD!!! Tinkered with the mag timing and made things worse. Now no fire to the plugs again, but great spark from coil wire........oh well, gotta work tomorrow. Will try again on Thursday. Any thoughts welcome.. .
