Seen it more than once, We used to refer to is as "The customers out of money" (bi---ing) and we're out of time, finish it up and get it outta here" that should have been petty easy to spot www.tandmautomotive-omaha.com

On a rotisserie they took short cuts on $30 wires? that should have been petty easy to spot All of the wires were black and the distributor cap boots were all the same. It wasn't until I pulled the spark plugs that I found the problem. Plus the miss was a high speed problem only. The engine idled and ran fine until about 4k rpm.

On a rotisserie they took short cuts on $30 wires? I'm glad you were able to find the problem. I'm 99% sure that the previous owner got disgusted with the car not running right and there's a good chance that's the only reason he sold it.

I liked the technical information that the “old” Magnecor put on their website, but is unfortunately now gone, but is on the Internet Archive Wayback machine. I like how the grade of insulation used on the old Magnecor wires has held up since 1998. I like how Magnecor offers the option of buying special wires that reduce radio Frequency Interference (RFI) I like how Magnecor put on their website the Dodge Ram TSB about cross fire using the original factory wire routing. https://magnecorusa.com/v8/ I am not totally confident the new owners of Magnecor will provide the customer service of the original owner, but they have expanded worldwide and offer lots more options.
