If you have air/fuel/spark and timing right , it must run. The spark must be 'strong enough ' though , I think you need to test if that spark is good enough. The only other possibility is a problem with that 6 castellation plate that whizzes round between the Hall effect sensors in the distributor. ...

Oh No , how many times must I write it.
NEVER, EVER try to run with an open plug lead.
You have just killed the 'dissy' .

And , check EVERYTHING in that throttle quadrant slot is working correctly.
That tiny ball-race MUST turn, not slide , as it moves up and down through the slot.

Because those cables are subject to LOTS of movement and vibration.
It has to be totally flexible.
The wire is much finer than hair , twisting them together is fine , solder and the wire will break on the solder/wire transition.

If all else fails I do have one BUT the cable is only 6 inches long.
It can be spliced onto the existing cable by twisting the wires together NOT SOLDERED.
I can supply all the heat shrinks to make it a good job.

There are only four ways these items can fail.

4/ The cable being damaged
Which one caused yours to fail ?

The 'killer test' is the pull-away after a long 50mph downhill stretch with foot off the accelerator .

And lastly , everyone needs to know this.
IF you over-tighten the screws that hold the tensioner in place and it snaps off in the engine block , I have the only piece of kit IN THE WORLD ,
that will allow you to remove the piece left in the hole.........without removing the engine.
Remember.

Check that the tensioner is working ,or all the work will be for nothing.

This was my first 'mod' to the dear old Probe , just so that a standard -075 battery would fit without the terminal problem. Basically , you make a flat platform out of aluminium plate to replace the plastic tray. This drops the battery enough to prevent problems. I sent the detailed drawing to Paul...
