Hello List,
        My TR6 has a rough idle.  At night in a dark garage I notice 
that the plugs are arching to the head, externally.  Little sparks 
dance over the wires, and onto my hands.  The car runs good on 
the road, just idles lousy.
        I've tended to any possible vacuum leaks, and cleaned all 
grounds.
        Now I am running a Pertronix with 12V stock coil and 
ballast bypass wire, timing at about 8 BTDC, NGK5BPES plugs at 
.035" gap, new Bosch wires.  I burn through caps and rotors pretty 
quickly.  I switched to the Pertronix because I was burning through 
points, too.  Dang!
        Any ideas sure would be appreciated.
                Rick
                1973 TR6 CF2570U
