Thanks alot guess for the great info and warnings. I have a feeling the plug wires are wrong for starters. I did take all of the plugs out and made sure the gap was correct. The plugs looked to be pretty new. There are 2 little clamps that hold the distributor cap on and I found that one of these clamps was not on and the cap was loose. If someone took the dist. cap off I am assuming from your information that the order may not be what is stamped. Is that correct? I will attempt some of your ideas tomorrow as it is pretty cold out and dark now. I have the car partly in the driveway as I had to pull it home and my driveway is sloped and the car to heavy for me and my friend to push by ourselves. We were trying to get is close to the garage but the chain that my friend was pulling me with slipped off when turning into the driveway, flew and punctured a pretty good hole in the corner of my radiator. So, now I have even another thing to fix.

When you say the order of the plugs are stamped is that under the long cap that the plugs are in? Please excuse my ignorance of terms, I am new to messing with cars, although I am finding it interesting and fun.

Thanks
