[QUOTE="bbstacker1, post: 260196, member: 7560"] You can buy cheap spark testers at most auto parts or small engine stores ($6-15). You should be able to jump at least 1/4 inch. You can also try running the engine, pulling one plug wire at a time to see if it makes a difference (I would pull the plug wire before I started the engine). Is this engine new to you? Have you checked the compression to make sure that is good? Have you pulled the flywheel to see how things look under there? Assuming the engine is a 76 model you might only need a new set of points or an adjustment to the current ones. [/QUOTE]
