Took the BJ8 out today. Changed the plug wire to #6 (there was a visible spark
last night). The car struggled big time Had to change rotors every 3 miles in
order to get the car home. Driving along and all of a sudden backfire, black
smoke, nothing. Changed the rotor (it was noticeably hot) and got another 2 or
3 miles out of it. Looked tonight in the dark and the visible spark from
number 6 plug was not there. Talked to Jeff with Advanced Distributors and he
suggested it was plug wires. Strongly suggested I install points instead of
the Petronics. At his suggestion, I checked the ohm reading on the plug wires
and they checked out OK. Still wondering if it could be bad gas, I did add a
product called â??Heat.â?? Supposed to absorb any water that may be in the gas
tank. Not much help, so far.
Iâ??m waiting for the plug wires and distributor cap from Moss Motors to show
up to install them. Hope that helps but not really convinced itâ??s the
solution.
Do you guys have any words of wisdom for me?
