BJ8 gurus, need your help. My car has developed a worsening misfire, a bit at idle, very bad at higher RPM's. I've been going through all the usual suspects--replaced the cap, rotor, condenser, points, disconnected the white and black wire from the boot switch, checked compression, looked at plugs. My numbers 3 and 6 plugs look fouled, and I suspect that is where the misfire are happening because all the other plugs look perfect. Compression at 180 in those cylinders. Newly rebuilt engine, and the carbs have been gone though.
But anyway, here is something I have not seen reported on the forum: When revving the engine and getting bad misfire, the tach dies. Rev to say 2500, and the tach needle drops and bounces up and down while the engine is misfiring.
I have not yet replaced the coil (my restorer is sending a new one). Thoughts?
