Spark plugs and wires question
My car wouldnt start this morning :mad
i have just got it out off winter storage this weekend
i have rebuilt mostly everything under the hood
carb,new points,spark plugs.well i took off the wires on the distributor and there where some corrosion on the one that goes to the coil so i figured i would need i new dist cap and rotor.
well i have done that now but now its not firing on every cylinder.
i have checked all the wires and such and it seems fine.
could a spark plug gotten bad this morning when it didnt start? it smelled a little gas then.
The wires are not more than 3 years old.
it was running great when i got it home yesterday.so i am i little :confused: and :mad .
thanks for any replies

Re: Spark plugs and wires question (stingraymaniac)
How is your battery?
Also..I pulled some plugs/wires and damaged the wires ($80.00 Moroso). I pulled the wire through the connector. Take a good look down the plug wire end to see if any of them were damaged at any point and are not making a good connection.
