Reply to "Engine Cutting Out"

Marlin,

It's a Motorcraft vacuum advance distributor with 12127 stamped right next to 'Motorcraft'. It has Mallory Unilte internals. I pulled the cap and rotor. It appears to be a Motorcarft cap, and a Mallory rotor with the removable black window skirt around it (for the pickup). The cap and rotor are carbon scored up, and need replacing. I cleaned them both up and out then back for now, with no change. The plugs are black, but dry, and hardly look worn. The wires don't look so hot, but didn't 'glow' last night.

I'm ordering new plugs, cap, rotor, wires, fuel filters for the carb, external fuel filter, and tach adaptor tonight. I may as well change it all while I'm at it.

Michael
