The Ford Barn - View Single Post

The cap and rotor are new and look new. First thing I did was pull the cap and look for anything that was not right. The contacts are all clean and nothing looks out of place. There are no cracks or anything else. The rotor is the correct height and length (compared to the old one) and it is also new, clean and fully seated on the distributor shaft. Obviously something is wrong, I just haven't found it yet.

There is no corrosion on anything and the car has been is a dry barn during and since restoration and never stays outside.

The miss is not regular, it is erratic, at least at idle. Can't really tell at speed, just much more noticeable.

When the plugs are clean, it fires up immediately - like touch the key and it's running.
