[urq] //S4cylinder, got spark? YES!

[AUDIJIM at aol.com]

OK, I think I finally narrowed it down. I need an engine. Today I tested the 
ignition system. I pulled the coil pack and removed the spark plug boots. I 
used 5 ignition cables from a 10 v MC engine. I removed the metal shield on the 
spark plug end and cut the end of the boot where it flares. With a spare set 
of F5DPOR plugs, I removed the screw on piece at the top of the plug. The 10 
valve cars do not use this on their plugs. I laid the coil pack on it's side and 
inserted the ignition cables onto the coils and to the plugs in the head. The 
car started right up, on 5 cylinders and then after about a second, dropped 
#4 cylinder. With my Fluke 87 DMM, I have the adapter for RPM. I clamped the 
inductive pickup around each ignition cable to sense spark/RPM. Every cylinder 
is getting spark. Every cylinder is getting fuel. I either need piston rings or 
I need a valve job or both. So I will live with this missing engine until I 
finish rebuilding my spare AAN.
