Thanks Vernon, as soon as I try start it with carb cleaner and it backfires it 100% confirm your guess, all compression is good.

@@jankotze1959 I'm sure you know all this but if the cap has a hairline crack the fire will follow that crack and go to the wrong plug at the wrong time, my dad used to paint the inside of the cap where the crack was with finger nail polish and a lot of the time it would work again for a little while.
@brycewiborg80952 күн бұрын
I'm in agreement with Vernon. Nail polish has many uses, but I never heard of painting cracked distributor caps with it. I learned something new. Thank you Jan.

In the next one Ed, it just needs some fuel, I know the carb is not 100% but I want it to fire up with a boost and run right, then I can thoroughly clean the carb

Good evening Jan. Condensation in the distributor cap, or a crack in the cap will cause the random fire like that.

Right on Ed, as Vernon said, I just need a way to find a crack, I filled it ones with fuel, though it out and let it dry but no wet cracks was visible

We had low compression on two cylinders and a stiff outlet valve, we get it loose and adjust the valves and all cylinders compression is now at +- 115psi
