I am having some problems with poor running.

Can I get some feedback?

Who runs a crab distributor?
If you do, do you use solid core or suppressed (modern) type wires?
What plug gap do you run?
Do you drive the car hard?

The reason I ask is because I had good success running solid leads and .025 gaps no matter how hard I drove it. I fitted a set of suppressed leads and within a short time (less than 50 miles) the car broke down from what I suspect is a failure associated with the cap.

Anyone care to share their experiences?

Mart.
