Well, I decided to do a major service on this car. 1974 2.0. I've adjusted the valves, replaced the spark plugs NGK BP5ES, gapped to 0.028, replaced the distributor cap, rotor, spark plug wires and installed a Pertronix ignitor.
I've double checked to make sure HT leads attached for proper firing order, battery is charged. I removed #4 plug wire and plug to check for spark: got spark. Any help? What's a logical sequence to troubleshoot? Thanks, Bill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Try turning the distributor. If you have spark and the firing order is correct, then it comes down to timing. The point make/brake may be different than the pertronix.
Assuming things like fuel are good and no other changes have been made. |
