<DIV dir=ltr>As a final note on this, I have had the little floating graphite
rotor contact in the cap fail on me as well, no way to tell really except swap

<DIV dir=ltr>If you are running suppressed modern wires into your standard
Lucas cap, you can have huge problems, as the graphite type materials they
use in these don't like connecting to the screw connector in the Lucas cap
. You need to use metal core wires, such as bumble bee wire.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Also did you check distributor shaft wobble? If your dizzy bushes
are worn, and you have excessive wobble, you could also be having similar
problems.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Lastly, check internal wires/insulating washers in the dizzy make sure
it is all kosher.</DIV></DIV>

class=gmail_quote>Took the BJ8 out today. Changed the plug wire to
#6 (there was a visible spark last night). The car struggled big
time Had to change rotors every 3 miles in order to get the car
home. Driving along and all of a sudden backfire, black smoke,
nothing. Changed the rotor (it was noticeably hot) and got another 2
or 3 miles out of it. Looked tonight in the dark and the visible
spark from number 6 plug was not there. Talked to Jeff with Advanced
Distributors and he suggested it was plug wires. Strongly suggested
I install points instead of the Petronics. At his suggestion, I
checked the ohm reading on the plug wires and they checked out OK.
Still wondering if it could be bad gas, I did add a product called
“Heat.” Supposed to absorb any water that may be in the gas
tank. Not much help, so far.<BR><BR>I’m waiting for the plug wires
and distributor cap from Moss Motors to show up to install them.
Hope that helps but not really convinced it’s the solution.<BR><BR>Do you
guys have any words of wisdom for me?<BR><BR>Price Lindsay<BR>67
