All right. Her is the latest update on the 122 troubles.

I have good spark going fro the coil to the distributer. But nothing going from the distributer to the plugs. That seems to be the problem.

Now the question is, why not? New cap, rotor and wires. The points are fine, because I have the swpark from the coil.

the problem has been intermittent. it would run fine, then cut out nd not start again.

What I have done now is take out the distributer and tom,arrow I plan to take it apart and check it out. I am thinking that there is either a short, or a bad ground somewhere in the distributer which is not allowing it to spark. or amybe the brushes are worn out.

If anyone has had this issue with a distributer, let me know. and If it is a TERRIBLE idea to take it apart, please let me know that too!

Thanks
Kent
