T-Series '54 TF Misfire

[Guest]

My 54 TF has been running great. This morning, after not driving it for a few weeks, it started up fine, was running well for about 200 seconds, then started missfiring. I cleaned the distributer cap, tried changing spark plugs around and the same cylinder still missfires.

Any ideas?

possibly too lean? Or maybe the distributor cap may be defective in some way? the plug/coil wires aren't seated all the way on?

Aloha Frank,

Check the connection for that plug wire to the distributor cap and also the spark plug clip and connection. Since moving plugs around resulted in the same cylinder misfiring, this seems like the first and cheapest thing to check.

Safety Fast,
Dave

Frank,
Try this site, it's only for TD & TF owners. Collective T Series wisdom is quite extensive.
