I’m fairly certain the distributor is actually factory. It’s the same color as the original block paint and the wiring and stuff just seems so old. So there’s a ground that also comes off the coil that I think acts as a ground? It bolts up under the coil mounting bracket. Now my intake is...

Vehicle is misfiring at all rpms. I have a spark tester and the front two cylinders are the worst this whole points distributor and carb stuff is all new to me. The only thing that hasn’t been replaced is the distributor and spark plugs. They are pretty new but decently fouled from misfiring...
