Can anyone let me know if the timing I described above is correct? It runs strong but there is that intermittent skip. I have not tried an electric ignition but did replace the entire distributor system which helped a lot.

UPDATE: Sorry for the delay, I had to replace speedometer cable and it looked like my speedometer had lost its calibration to 0 so it was centered on 60. I also ended up with a voltage regulator problem so had to track that down. It is running steady now with only a very intermittent...

Yes I did after you suggested it, number six was unstable and replaced the wire and is now stable. Still intermittent miss. I did notice on the ignition coil a drop of light then the skip. Replaced coil and it is still present.

Did that just now. Found number 6 not steady replaced wire. Six is now Steady but still intermittent miss. I also tried it on the ignition coil wire toward distributor, I see a loss of light longer than normal right before the skip. I am not sure if measuring the coil is helpful.

New champion plugs gapped at 35, new 7MM wires.

The skip is still there and intermittent, there is no regular skip pattern like you would expect on the rotation at a certain spot. I was reading an online service manual and it is showing timing should be at +10. I set this at plus +10 with carb and vacuum advance plugged. Then when I put...

Yes so it looks like it had one on the block inline (picture I posted) on the negative and also one in the distributor in both the original one I replaced and the replacement. So I have taken the one on the block out of the line. So now I just have the condenser in the distributor. Thank you...

When I first started working on it, this in the picture was attached to the ignition coil, in the 78 times I moved everything around I can't remember which side it was on +, or -. I do have a condenser in the distributor attached to the points. If it is a capacitor as stated by NCC1968 does...

I will take a photo, it is not the ceramic one mounted on firewall. I did replace that which I think is the ballast resistor .... it is right next to the voltage regulator, on passenger side. The one I am wondering about is mounted to the block under the ignition coil next toward...

Yes it is mounter to the block I feel like it was on the negative side of the ignition coil. it is not the ballast resistor which is ceramic and square, - - - Updated - - - I replaced the condenser in the distributor and it started and did not stall. I replaced the entire distributor from...

Changed out fuel pump no improvement. Next will be newer points. I also have a question, with the ignition coil, I found a resistor of some kind mounted to the block with a short wire. I must have been missed by me or the other who owned it. Does this go on the positive side or the...

Points I set the points to near .018 on the highest point of the lobe rotation, everything looks fine there, yes I did drip some oil as you asked. I had the same thought. I will get another capacitor today and I am also going to replace the fuel pump. I noticed it runs well when it first...

I am new to the forum so I hope I have posted in the right area. I am needing some assistance with my 1967 dodge coronet 440 318. I have replaced the alternator, ignition coil, voltage regulator, carb, PCV, spark plugs, points, cap, rotor, battery, cables etc. It was running great for about...
