I have a 1985 Ranger 2.8l 2 bbl stock. started to lose power and run rough under load. idle ok. starts right up.
1. changed plugs that were in bad shape from 15 K miles 18 months Ap765 to Ap765 autolite single plat, runs 300 feet and dies.
no spark, no dwell, 12 volts to coil
2. changed ignition module and coil. starts and runs just as bad as before under load, smooth idle
not yet. i will. i know it could be a compression problem, but when it quit the spark induction tach registered 0 rpm while cranking and the dwell stayed on 60. after the new module it started so jarring the pickup could have made it work poorly instead of not at all.
if anyone wants to know the dist cap was bad. new cap and it runs just like before the problem. there was hard buildup on the terminals in the cap. some had more than others.
