[DML] Re: Engine misfiring

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It could be a bad wire that was strectched or maybe they are just old.
It could also be a bad, worn, old, or cracked distributer cap and/or
rotor. My suggestion is, if the parts are old, to just replace the
cap, rotor, spark plugs, and ignition wires. I would also check the
timing and make sure the mechanical and vacuum advance is working.
