Engine runs rough. While at fast idle I ground tested each cyl and #3 spark was intermittent/absent. All others had stead/regular spark to ground .I replaced the spark plugs with new W16, then the re-timed the engine with test lamp, then replaced the coil, still no improvement. I've ordered new upper dist body and rotor. Hopefully this will be the fix.
Any suggestions on what I'm missing?
