Hi everyone, my ignition is now fixed. The wire coming from the
distributor was the culprit! The pickup wiring is in a sheath thet
has a braided wire casing (a fine one). This sheath had rubbed
through on the engine and ultimately one of the wires. I could make
the engine stop by bending the goup and it would short out on this ?
insulation? Anyway here is a clip of the van I put on YOUTUBE.
