Distributor problem

[John Mason]

Hi Tony, I believe you have more than one seven in your family. Temporarily borrow parts and exchange them for yours one at a time such as coil, condenser, distributor cap. That way you can check your own parts with known good ones. That way if successful you will only have to replace one part. Remember to replace all borrowed parts and check that the car starts ok especially if it’s your wife’s car.
Also check for tightness the two screws that hold the baseplate. They earth the points.
