Default Re: Model A Engine Intermittent - help I need an adult

Check all wiring. All connections should be bright metallic and tight. Check the ignitions switch. Wiggle the key when running rough and check the contacts in back. Check the ammeter for loose connections. If all else fails bypass the ammeter by making both connections on one screw to see if it is the cause. Make sure the high tension wires are shoved all the way into the coil and distributor cap. Make sure the moving point in the distributor is not grounding out on the cam because of wear.
