Peer,
If I were you I'd order a set of plug wires from:
Dick Paterson's Springfield Performance Ignition: Recurved Distributors, Spark Plug Wire Sets, Rebuilt Carburetors, Engines,
Transmissions

Subject: [GMCnet] 2nd last cylinder doesn't receive spark
My '73 isn't running happily.
Replaced spark plugs, didn't change things.
Replaced distributor cap, didn't change things.
Went ahead, and took each of the plug wires, plug an external spark plug
into it. 6 of 8 cylinders produce a spark. The 2nd last on both sides do
not, i.e. 5 and 6 if you count from the left top.
Changed distributor caps. Issue remains in 5 (and 6).
Switched cables between 5 and 7, the issue remains in 5.
I am out of ideas, and appreciate feedback from the combined GMCnet
wisdom :-)
Thanks
