I’m wondering if you should check the spray pattern on the fuel injectors. It’s a
No cost item. I do 2 at a time on the same side. Disconnect the coil (no sparks during this operation) take out the 10mm nut and pull the injectors out. I use 2 small dishes to place the injectors in… have a helper crank the motor and watch how the injector sprays. It should be a nice fine pattern.

I had one that would dribble somewhat and that was the cause of my intermittent problem. It’s an easy fix and it’s free to check.

Just a thought.


I initially considered the possibility of a failed injector, but I don't believe this would explain the erratic behavior I'm seeing in the noid light.

I wonder if this could be one of those rare times the ECU is going? Do you have an extra?


That's my thought, either the ECU or a fault in the 123 distributor trigger mechanism. Unfortunately, I don't have an extra to test.

I see you are in the northeast, I do have an extra. It's not for a 74 but I doubt it will matter for this test. How far are you from New York?
