Umm...if it's gonna be a 302 soon why bother honestly?

When you make the spark jump...I assume you mean grounding the plug and making it spark. It seems good? How much mileage is on this thing? All plugs and wires and packs are correct for the engine/year?

[ Don"t Know Your Problem, But If Your Correct About The Ground. Ebay Has Ground Kits For Around 15.00, Something Like That, There Are Pretty Cheap. They Ground From The Battery To Several Locations In The Engine Bay. Easy Hook Up And Cheap Price Could Be Your Answer. Good Luck!!!!!!!!
