[AT] Magneto?/Dist.

[Doug Tallman]

Wayne, are the plug wires copper core or are they the automotive style 
carbon core resistance wires? I could see your problem happening if they 
were resistance wires and they were the longest 2. (or the 2 with the 
most resistance) For magneto, the copper wires should be used. Also make 
sure the plugs don't have excessive gaps.  Doug T

However, when I replaced it with one from an "A" all four cyl ran perfectly. Only thing I could see was the carbon center (cap) was wore so much it may have not had good contact with the rotor? Could that cause a constant miss on the same two cyl?
