I have put new wires,plugs,coil,cap and rotor on my 8n and still geting speratic fire on one cylinder.I can hold the wire to the plug and it will fire several times and stop for a short while and start firing again.Pulled distributor and while turning the rotor the points are opening on all 4 lugs,bushings showing little wear.What am i over looking?

Thanks in advance..... ...Rich

Check for play on the distributor shaft. Bushing wear may be the reason. Just did mine.HTH

I believe that I would try another wire to the spark plug, temporarily.

If the plug fires ok, then I'd replace the bad wire.

Hope this helps. :{)
