FYI.......
I was reading about the dead cyl's thread and relating it to a problem I've had. One of the posts struck my interest when someone mentioned that pick-up coil wired break sometimes. I found one of mine broken today. So if any of you ever lose two cyls. when you try to gently accelerate, you might want to check that out. The whole pick-up coil assembly moves with the vaccum advance, and the wires flex with it. I'm at about 60K miles now and this has gotten worse over the last year or two. I do a lot of stop light to stoplight, so these wires get some extra workout from me. It's a bit of a wierd symptom that can lead you in different directions, so I wanted to give everyone a heads up
