I just discovered this last night, and haven't had a chance to troubleshoot yet. Figured some of you might enjoy pondering it too. I just figured out why my fresh 225 runs like garbage, and I can't get it dialed in. When the engine is not under load, I lose all spark. Give it some throttle, there is spark. Let off the throttle, there is none. I have a spare ECM, and possibly another coil I hope to try this weekend, as well as tracing some wiring... |

Is the engine well grounded to the chassis? |

It could be the wires inside the distributor,going to the pick-up coil.the coil moves to cause changes in vacuum advance. |

Could be the bushings in the distributor are shot causing the air gap on the pickup to change. I had that happen to me on my 84 Ford van. Swapped the guts of the old distributor into a remanned dist housing and everything worked fine. |
