I think you are on the right path. I did compare the old rotor with the new one and they are the same, I do not have the old cap anymore so I cannot compare. I think we can rule the plugs out as it is not firing from the plug wire, meaning it is not reaching the plug. I bought the parts from Max Merrit packard, but that does not mean anything. I think like you that the problem now is in the distribution of spark through the cap to the plugs. Either a faulty cap or bad sparkplug wires, which the latter is unlikely as they are of solid wire. I did check that the sparkplug wires are in good contact with the spike on the cap. Does anyone know of any other supplier of parts.
