Part 2…A few weeks ago I posted about a miss and rough running in my ’37 engine (see above). I apparently solved the issue using another rebuilt distributor I had and a new condenser (FA49). See my post #13. The only parts I reused were the end caps, plug wires, and Skip’s rebuilt coil. The plug wires showed good continuity from spark plug end to end cap terminal.
The car ran great for about 150 miles and the miss started again. Could the coil be defective? If so, how can I test it? I’m also thinking that the under dash resistor is bad. How do I test the under dash resistor for functionality?
I would appreciate any other thoughts about trouble shooting the miss.
