Help!
While out driving yesterday, probably pushing
this old 1275 a little too much, we lost Number
1 cylinder, and had to limp home on 3.
Back in the garage, I left the engine running and
removed each plug wire. No change when I pulled number
1. Engine slowed measurably when I pulled each of the
other 3.
Swapped plugs between 2 and 1. Still number 1 failing.
Swapped wires between 1 and 2. Still number 1 failing.
Cleaned the inside of the cap and re-screwed all 4 wires.
Number 1 still failing.
When I pull the blug, leave it connected, and ground the
plug threads, I get no spark across the gap.
When I remove the plug from the connector, and hold the
end of the wire near a ground, I get a very small, weak
spark.
Should I try a new cap?
BTW, Just t'other day I installed a new distributor.
Any suggestions?
