I re-checked the timing - 15 BTDC (should be 10 BTDC) and the dwell
55 (should be 60 +/- 3)
The next item that you have given me to check is the possibility of a
blockage in the exhaust. I'm saving that for the weekend.
What do you think.

I didn't hear you checking your distributor. Inside your distributor there is a
tiny wire going from the baseplate to the mechanical advance mechanism. Barney
suspected that this wire is loose and everytime when your mechanical advance
kicks in, the contact is broken. Read the original post for more information.

a) distributor (99% certain)
b) coil (do they ever break?)

8,000 miles since last year and it still doesn't break down - What am I
