I think the tester would/should show it, but isolated to #2 cyl. only, and it appears to be in the distributor, just trying to think what it might be. Distributor cam lobe seems logical?
Interesting puzzle... Be glad to see the findings.

Shipped it back for analysis and repair. I'm interested to find out myself. In the meantime, running great with the Mallory Unilite.

Ok. So this was the root cause. Bent. Not sure how or when it happened. All I can say is that I returned it and he fixed it and got it back to me quick. I installed it today and drove it and all is well so far.

Thanks for follow up. Many times no one lets one know the outcome. Glad it is fixed as I am sure you are, as well.

soon, the top plate is bent? how might that effect it?

i can see the rotor contact might not be close to the tab in the cap, but was it off that much?

appreciate the thoughts?

Agree, Would think it would be off the same for every contact in the cap?
