Usually check the dist. cap (removed) with wires attached. If Ohm readings are within Ohms/ft. per plug wire manufaturer, the cap is probably ok.
Sometimes the valves seat themselves into the seat thus increasing lifter preload, and causing premature wear or lifter damage, etc. What is the vacuum at idle ? Times have changed since the shooting of a lame horse.
couldn't check it since there isn't a timing reference bolted to the block. peejaa got it right, there was carbon tracking in the cap like i posted in the description.
beat if ya look at your old cap youll see cracks from the coil lead or from one of the posts! the spark will follow the crack and make it miss fire!. and its cool it works now HAVE FUN :)
im only 15. a cleveland worked engine had a problem it was missfiring and then eventually no iol pressure at the first cylinder fixed it then ran the new parts in but with a used camshaft probaly 2 years old so i removed the rocker cover checked for the right cycle and revealed the first rocker arm was not levering which lead to me hoping it was the push rod but then after it not being i romoved waterpump distubutor and pulled the camshaft out and revealed a lobe missing from the camshaft.
whoa man thats sounds pretty bad. was the lobe missing in the beggining or did it break off in the motor? if it did break in the motor that would suck balls eh?
Mine sounded like that ran like crap too ended up being some bend pushrods I put some hardened ones and wham bam I was racing again . drivers side rear of moter
