distributors

i have recently put my very lumpy cam and twin webbers on my worked motor. The webbers are fine, the cam is in fine. At low revs it runs fine and sounds sweet but as soon as u give it a bit it sort of shuts down and doesn't run on all 4. i put platinum spark plugs in it and that didn't fix it so im looking into the distributor and size of coil. Has anyone got an electronic distibutor in theres from a jackeroo? there is a kit available to transfer gemi ones into electronic but thats $300 odd dollars. also what size coil do u have? I've got a bosch 40 and it must be stuffed or somethin cause the spark it releases is piss weak.
If u could think of any other options as to why this is happenin please fill me in.

cheers

That's the crane cams points replacement kit. That and a coil designed for use without a balast resistor and you're away.
I have the next model up from the one mentioned in that post and since I put that on she's never missed a beat. I've taken it up a little over 8000rpm (just for shits and giggles as my engine produces no usefull power at thos rpm)

Have you cehcked your points? Seeing as you've changed the cam you may need to have the dizzy recurved as well.
