No i didn't . Have one on order now just in case. Along with new spark plugs

Static timing looks ok. I have rotar arm a few degrees before no.1 plug lead, and compression in no.1 cylinder as it rises to the top of its stroke. I guess next step is rocker cover off to be sure i have the right cycle and exhaust valves are definitely shut

Ok so i changed the ignition amp today and checked the wiring from amp connector to coil. Theres only 2 wires +ve and -ve both were fine. Now i have fuel getting to the plugs and spark at plug lead ends byt she still won't start ?? Battery is fully charged and turning engine over. Hooked up my...

I've been very fortunate !!
