Ralph69220d,

Thanks for the feedback.
I was beginning to think that no one would reply.
Yes I am using an induction timing light.
I would like to diagnose the problem and not "throw parts" at the problem but I'm limited with only conventional tools.
Is there a proceedure for testing the fuel pump relay with a multimeter?
I've switched the distributor with a supposedly good used unit from Adsit Company.
I suspect a problem with the ignition switching gear.
I've read in posts of persons opening and repairing the switching gear.
If I knew what I should be looking for as a problem I'ld give it a try.
New ones are quite expensive.
