Problem: all sparkplugs are firing at the same time every other spark plug is firing, and they all fire weakly....

some brainstorming thoughts...
1. If I am using a jumper wire from the battery to the coil with a full 12 volts and the resistor only allows 7 volts, and the vaccum advance is broken or gummed up and it is really out of time. Then if the coil fires completely out of time and there is increased voltage, would it jump to all contacts in the distributor cap and cause a weak spark on all cylinders at every time.

Or is there something down deep in the distributor that is causing something to go to ground?

What do you thin?
