I remember a thread that said the part of the service manual that pertains to the ignition was wrong. I believe the number 1 plug position shown on the dizzy was incorrect.

Are you sure the plug wires are in the right order?

Nice! Glad to hear you got it straightened out! Also, a big thanks for posting back the ultimate resolution rather than just dropping off the face of the planet sort of thing - it's a big help to other people who run into similar issues to have the resolution available and confirmed.

Agreed there Pat...
Always helpful to have report of ultimate resolution in a thread. Makes it better for future research for others.
