Also, the wire that was not pressed down all the way in the dizzy might have
still been close enough to have been making contact, or close enough for the
spark to jump the gap, thus the cylinder may have been firing. I would think
you would have noticed the missing cylinder if it wasn't.
As to the missing pin in the linkage. It seems, at least to me, that it is
frequently the little things in life that get me.
I tend to be on the lookout for the big things that might cause problems.
