Changed the coil wire with a used one and the problem was worse. I will try another coil that I have and see what happens. If I have the same problem pull the distributor?

I think I finally sorted this out. My problem was a combination of things. I had a bad corroded coil wire, and a weak coil. Cleaned up the coil wire really good, and installed a known good coil, and all is good right now!

Need to find a good 293 coil.

Thanks for the help,

Lawrence
