As a guess, worn lobes on the dizzy shaft preventing the points from opening
and closing? Or excessive shaft wobble causing the same result? You should
be able to check by rotating the engine with the dizzy cap removed and
watching the points or using a dwell meter.

Subject: [6pack] Dizzy difficulty
Having mucho distributor woes on my very stock '73.5 TR6. Running on
4-cylinders constantly.
After replacing the points, condenser, cap, rotor and plug wires, I still
maintain a constant no-fire in #1 and #5 cylinders (from front to rear).
Compression test is well over 100#'s in each of the cylinders. Carbs are
set correctly and the plugs that are firing properly show no fouling or
lean
burning.
At a loss for clues to what is causing this major malfunction.
Any suggestions that a weekend mechanic can attempt to resolve this
aggravating situation? Any advice is always appreciated.
