Re: gas

if you have spark pull a plug and check for spark first, then advance mechanism in distributor for sticking. does it fire at all? valves adjusted ok? maybe time for a complete tune up including compression test, distributor check, etc?

Re: gas

not sure what is a weak spark and what i a strong spark... getting blue spark on plugs, seams like some sparks where bigger than others.took off middle wire off distributor cab, hook plug to it, seam better spark from coil than distr. everything on put on is new, i might have put on 50 miles altogether, should not have to have these problems.
