Trying to go through the subsystems to see if I can find the cause of a general weakness all around. So I started looking at ignition:
1. Cap and rotor do have wear but nothing I think should be causing problems. I'll probably replace since that's simple and affordable.
2. I tested continuity on my wires. They all were between 1500-2500 ohms depending on length which seems good. One of them got burned several years ago and is taped up but the continuity was one of the best so it should be fine?
3. Plugs - tested continuity and they seem fine and I don't get a reading on the porcelain. They are XR5's instead of 4's, I don't remember why. It's a 67 440 short block with 516's on it. Do these pictures look like the right heat range?
The net of it is I don't see anything in the ign system that stands out as a problem
