Well guys, I got it all installed last night. It started up on the second try!!! I was hoping that it would run better though...
Here's what I've got on it:
New Cap w/ brass contacts
New wires (resistor I think... doesn't say on the box, but it's a nice set...I'm pretty sure that it has that funny graphite impregnated fiberglass core)
New Plugs - Champions, Gapped to .035", Resistors. I can't remember the #, ( I know it had an R an 8 a C...but it was shown as a match in the NAPA system)
New Rotor
New Points
New Condensor
New Battery & Cables
Dwell set at 34 degrees (a little high I know, but it drops to about 31 when I rev the engine...which concerns me a little)
Timed so that the ball is aligned with the pointer. Timing was done w/ vacuum line disconnected
For some reason I'm getting intermittent spark at all cylinders,(not just one in particular) This is the same condition I had before I replaced all this stuff, the only thing I haven't replaced is the coil...is that the culprit??
Someone mentioned not running resistor wires with resistor plugs...could that be the problem? I don't think this is the problem, because the new plugs are the same as the ones I took out, and the old wires were Packard 440's which are definately NOT resistor wires (I would have left them on, but they were in bad shape)
Help please!
