Took BJ8 out for excercise and about 60 it "missed' a couple of times and
died - would not start. Towed it home and pulled fuel line and good flow at
carbs. On to ignition - good sparkfrom coil both when wire removed from
distributor cap and inside cap but no spark when pulled plug and grounded
against block. Replaced rotor (Have Pertronix ignition installed last year)
and she fired right up. Started 3 times but after running about 10 minutes
died again and will not start - same story - good spark from coil but no spark
to plug. Thinking distributor cap I changed it out with one I had but same
story. Also switched back rotor with no luck. Seems like if getting spark from
coil to cap it would be rotor or cap problem and could be "heat" related --
am I missing something?? Have spent a few hours in the archives and not too
encouraged. Could it be an intermittant problem with coil ? Any suggestions
would be welcome. Thanks Dave W. BJ8
