Well, today I decided I would hook up a timing light to the wires and see what happens when the cut out occurs, and lo and behold every wire I tested indicates it is not firing during the cut out, Could I/we have a bad distributor, or is it more likely the ignitor? Why would it NOT fire, if I put it to the floor I can kill the engine, but will fire right back up, if I let off it'll continue to run? What would account for them to not spark other than ig/coil, and distributor, nothing I can think of. AAGGGHHHHH!!! What ignitors can substitue for the gze one and what mods need to be done to accomadate such. I have a bunch of n/a stuff, I know they are not interchangable or are they?........Also can the knock sensor cause them to not fire? Thanks again guys. Will a age n/a distr and coil/ig run the gze?
