If it all starts again - check the chain. It will take less than 5 minutes and you only have to remove the distributor cap so you can see the rotor.


Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

The petronix kit is very sensitive to voltage. Be double sure you have a solid connection feeding it HOT. That is critical to know when setting one up.

I second the call to check the chain. The nylon might be causing some weird timing events on occasion.

I also agree a funky set if plugs could be derailing you. Ngk is good and ive had good luck with densos as well.




What part number of NGK would you recommend for this engine

I pulled the plugs. Some still had a little oil residue. I also found that some of the nuts on the exhaust manifold were loose. I pulled the manifolds after the car sat for a little bit. The valve covers were leaking, and it looks like oil made its way past the exhaust manifold gasket. Some valves had oil residue on them, some were powdery white

Pcv operating ok? Getting full 12 volts at coil positive? As recall you said earlier that vacuum advance line to dizzy was disconnected and plugged while setting timing? Carb float levels set ok?
