>So...what's more likely to give even after drying out...the Pertrinox or the
>coil?B
Coil shmoil.B Got the car home this morning where I could work on it.B
Replaced the distributor cap and it started and ran with power.
Don't think it was the cap, though I'm tossing the old one anyway.B Think
maybe it was the tip of the coil wire where it screws into the cap.B I
snipped the end off all the wires before refastening them to the new one.B Am
wondering if there was corrosion in there.B Would account for the weak spark.
Learned something else last night alongside the road.B The distributor cap I
carry for a spare doesn't have the screws in it, and they're a difference size
from the cap that was in the car.B Hmmmm....
Need to order a new Standard cap.B Also, does anyone remember where to get
those good, dependable brown rotor caps?
