[6pack] [TR] engine swap / motor skip

[Navarrette, Vance]

	Al:

	Other possibilities:

	1. Flat cam lobe on #2 cylinder
	2. Dwell angle (ask me how I know)
	3. Bad distributor cam (flat lobe)

Randal was right.
Cam is non stock; supposed to be a 270 cam.

I reset the valves  to .012  inake & .014 exhaust.

Better, but still skipping.
I went on the electrical hunt:
Changed Plugs, still skipping.
Changed plug wires, nothing yet.
Changed distributer cap. Some improvement,  At least car could go down
the
Street.
Went about 10 miles,  Alternator light started coming on, started
skipping
some more.
There still doesn't seem to be any spark in # 2 cylinder.
At least when I unplug # 2 theres no difference.
If  I unplug any of the other spark plugs the idle changes.

Running out of ideas
