[AJD] Test-my thoughts

[James Showers]

John,
Any help would be great.  At the timing marks, when I move the distributer, 
I do not get any spark.  What spark there is has turned to a weak yellow 
when it was blue.  When the engine was apart, I did not remove the 
crankshaft or camshaft, so the timing in that respect should be OK.
Jim
