RE: [T3] '70 square tuning

["Adriel Huntington Rowley" <architect_7@hotmail.com>]

I have a millimeter, it even measures temperature.  I now realize Volker put
on Type 1 Spark Plug wires (maybe this is why the hatch does not seat), when
mine with the L-connectors were fine.  I thought he only did a tune-up on
the distributor.  Thus, these should be fine.  So, what else should I look
at for the dead cylinder(s) and the jolting?  Oh, since I will be going to
the Classic, how do I fix the sloppiness of the stick, especially in first?
I checked the manuals, but with no luck.


Thanks (especially tolerance of a dummy),
Adriel H. Rowley

Don't jump to conclusions. There's something wrong that's probably 
simple. The fix is probably also simple and cheap. The only hard part 
is finding it.

Do you own an Ohmmeter? It's a $10 investment that will save you lots 
more than its cost. Buy one now and start measuring things. Start by 
measuring the resistance of each spark plug wire from end to end. 
Measure the rotor resistance also.

Let us know what you find.
