I have this ongoing issue and I am running out of solutions. It is an irritating intermittent misfire. So far I have done the following to address the issue:
- Replaced points with Lumenition Magnetronic system
- Replaced coil, twice - becasue I fried the first one by mistake :eeek:
- New set of Huco ignition leads
- New distributor cap and rotor
- Adjusted valve clearances
- Cleaned the carb and put in a new needle and seat valve
- Removed, cleaned and tightened all earth points
- Removed, sandblasted and tightned holders and connectors on the fuse box
This weekend I checked the spark plugs, again. Two plugs were giving problems intermittently. So bought four new NGK BP6ES's and fitted them. The car ran smoothly for the first time in a long time. But then... after about 50 km's (about 30 miles) the problem was back.
Anyone know what else could possibly be causing this problem?
