<div>Is the ignition timing set right?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Are the plug wires going to the correct cylinders?</div>

<div>Weak spark on #4 cylinder only could a plug wire, a sparklpug, or a distributor cap.</div>

<div>Weak spark on 1 cylinder won't keep the engine from starting, mis set timing will.<br clear="all"></div>

New points, new distributor, new rotor, battery while not new is functional. main symptom is the timing light on number 1 shows consistent spark and number 4 shows intermittent spark. Any suggestions? at the moment car turns over but won't start.<br>
