Been working steadly on fixing my 1974 1.8L.
New injectors,plugs,Petronic point replacemnt.etc. Driving to the store when all of a sudden something happened. Car felt like it had dropped 1 of the cylinders. Car does not rev at all,made it home and parked it. Diid a compression test (cold),110 110 100 90. Not happy with 90 on cylinder 1 but felt at least like motor should still be running. Where do I go next.???? I have a dual vacuum line throttle body,and a single vacum on my for sure non stock distributor that had a 4500 RPm rev limiter. (Distribitor mark for cylinder 1 is 180 degrees out.) Like I said I put on a pertronic 1847 and a petronic blaster coil and 8MM wires. I am thinking its a spark think,but really dont know what to do at this point. I have ordered a Mallory Unilite distribitor(4554101),but wont install it till I figure this out. Hoping for some help from you guys. Thanks Grant. |

Good find.
Looks like the contact pushed back into the plug. You may be able to push it back in and hopefully it clicks into place. Conversely while you're waiting for a new connector, when you re-insert this connector, get something sharp and small like a mini-screwdriver to secure the contact while you install the connector. At least you'd be able to drive your car until the new parts arrive. |
