Running stock but just ordered a new Accell distributor. Will find out when it gets here. Will post results.What distributor are you running and do you have a spare to swap in.
Cap is a brand new MSD but who knows with the crap they make today. I ordered a new Accell distributor and will post when it arrives and is installed.Have you inspected the cap? Could be wet or cracked on one side.
Totally unusual for one side of the engine to have issues. Are the plug wires hung and separated with care?
I thought about that so I sprayed starting fluid in the intake just to see if it would be a fuel issue. Not even a backfire out of the right bank. Should have gotten some kind of reaction feeding ether into it. I ordered a distributor and will post with any news after that. Just out of curiosity does the ECM I just got rebuilt have anything to do with firing the plugs?That's weird having weak spark on one bank. These cars aren't set up like that. Firing order isn't split like that either. The only logical thing could be the injector harness...maybe the 10 pin salt and pepper connectors at the back of the intake. They have nothing to do with spark though.
Spark energy comes from the coil. That thing doesn't have a variable power output. It gets a signal and fires to the center of the cap. The cap just sends that energy to the tip of whatever wire the rotor button is pointing at.
Ordered a new Accell distributor just to eliminate it from the mix. Will post with results. Thanks for the input also.That's weird having weak spark on one bank. These cars aren't set up like that.

OK all. I Got the new Accell distributor and decided to run it one more time before installing the accell. Ran very badly again. Checked all the exhaust tubes and 3 were actually hot on the left and one on the right side. Installed the new distributor said a prayer and turned the key. Purrs like a kitten. All cylinders are firing. No smoke no shake just running. I took the old distributor popped off the cap and took a good look. You couldn't tell when it was in the motor but on real close inspection with a bright flashlight I found the issue. It was rusted and corroded beyond belief. When I turned it upside down all kinds of crap came out including small parts of the trigger wheel. Living on an island a stone's throw from the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Long Island Sound on the other salt air took its toll. I would like to thank everyone for the help and ideas.Ordered a new Accell distributor just to eliminate it from the mix. Will post with results. Thanks for the input also.
