Hey guys, new here. My buddy and I are working on a 72 1.7L and it's only running on 1 and 3. Cleaned and checked the trigger points, still no dice. Now, when you unplug the connector for the trigger points, it runs on all 4, for about 3 seconds til it starves of fuel. Input?

Did you turn the plug on the diz around? Until you do that you have not ruled out the trigger points or the injectors. If the injectors on one side are plugged in wrong you could get 2&4 firing together.
