I havn't checked the coil resistor. didn't think of that.. I checked the points and re gapped them, the cam is good and theres just enough grease.. there actually Chevy 6cyl points so there really simple. I did pick up a new coil today while I was out. I'll check thr distributor shaft wear also, that crossed my mind while I was out.. I'm sure it's nothing major wrong, just I got to figure it out.. thanks for the help
