checked thos g.. damn Champion plugs..... of course that particular one had
an open circuit.  Lesson, don't buy Champion ever.


Huh, a spark plug is supposed to be an open circuit.

   sure, to the outside 'pin' ... but short circuit to the inside pinn.
Having said all that, however, after a couple of days I'm back to rough
running and cylinder #2 is still missing.  I notice though that if I simply
open the distributor and wipe the cap on the inside, that helps a lot to
make it run smoother ....
Maybe there is a gasket missing and moisture is building up in there? Or perhaps there is a vent that is plugged? I personally would replace the cap and rotor.

PS Are you going to apologize to the Champion people  :~)
