New condenser, distributor cap/rotor, new coil wire, coil, spark plug wire and after a week of failures… finally spark on plug 1.

Not sure why it was such a struggle but it’s finally (for now) over.

Started putting the truck back together… again.

I did find some of the wires were showing signs of melt through down near the boot. Ordered some new/better grade of plug wires and some more dei wire insulators.

Picked up some new champion plugs that are recommended by Edelbrock. The plugs take a 5/8 ratchet and it just barely fits inside the head.
