Yes, I know that electricity is going to follow the path of least resistance. That's what has me a little baffled. I'm reasonably sure that all is fine with the wires, cap, plugs, etc. Engine is in good shape - no resistor plugs or wires, no oil fouling, etc. But yes, it's possible that for some reason a plug has an unusally high resistance. Not something that can be checked with an ohmeter since a good plug also has very high resistance due to the gap.
That's what got me thinking about the actual time of spark and rotor position when it happens. I noticed that when spark is occurring, the rotor is inbetween poles instead of being lined up with one. Seems that must cause huge resistance. Not something I ever had to think much about before this, and maybe all distributors are designed to work OK that way. Like I said, never really checked any others since I never had an issue like this.

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
