- Went out in the spit last week and for the first 2 miles she seemed to be firing on 3 cylinders. Stopped by the side of the road and check things over and noticed the HT connection to the coil was gr

- Sounds to me most likely that the HT lead has gone. But, it could be any other part of the ignition system feeding no. 1 cylinder - the spark plug, or the distributor cap, or either of the connectio

- Last set of leads I got was from Halfords, but that was a couple of years ago now. I agree, I wouldn't buy their generic leads. Given the location of the dizzy, so close to the plugs and near the mi

- I know from the other posts that you are looking at the leads, but don't forget that it could be the plug. You could try swapping cylinders to see. I did have a bad one in the set that came on the ca

- Tim, What do your plugs look like? When I had this problem, it turned out that I'd lost a scraper ring and oil would build up on the plug enough to stop the spark from time to time. After a period of
