[V8] 4 cylinder V8

[Rex Pedersen]

I'm getting spark from the spark plugs themselves. However... I just did a
check and I don't think it is strong enough. I tested the "bad" ones and got
spark. Then I tested a "good" one and got spark plus a pretty good tickle
even through rubber gloves.
I just pulled the distributor and everything looks fine. Check the
resistance on the rotor and it is within specs.
Going to double check the firing order now. I know two are correct for sure
however.
