weak spark

I am getting very weak spark on numbers 6 & 7 along with a very rough idle...any ideas what could be the problem? I switched out the cap rotor wires and plugs?

Make, model, engine size? My guess would be your coil is on its way out.

Mine had a good coil but a loose plug wire on it put a big crater in the tip leading to the issue your having
