Bad coils?

[Les Kovacs]

Hi Rob....the picture I was refering too was downloaded several years ago & I assumed it may have been from yours (explaining the distributor system)but regardless....I think I got it after staring at the distributor housing and the 4 plug wires and revewing your email.....so, your last response was to take off the distributor cover, take the #1 plug wire off the distibutor, then take the other end off of spark plug #1. Then take the distributor end of 31 plug wire and have it touch the central part of the coil inbetween the two contacts....then take the spark plug end without the spark plug screwed in and touch the block...then crank and see what happens...is this correct?....if it is....I will try it and report.

Cheers,
