Spark at the end of plug wires went away so mabey it was intermittent to begin with. Anyway I now have a new distributor cap, rotor and coil. I have a real good spark coming out of the coil but when I check at the end of the spark plug wire there is nothing. I tried this on #1 and #2 with a spare plug. What could it be now?
