Hi All
I’ve just had a slightly frustrating time getting a newly rebuilt engine to run. After checking connections, replacing condensers etc etc., the car seems sometimes to fire and run and other times refuses. Checking the points by separating them sometimes gives a strong spark other times nothing! I think the problem may be due to the quality of earthing to the distributor.
Has anyone had a similar problem and has anyone tried a separate earth lead to the distributor body?
For info this is a 6 volt system with DS4 distributor.
Cheers
Howard
