Arrgh, this is doing my head in, have just repalced leads, coil and spark plugs. have done the old bush thumb compression test and have put the leads upto the rocker to check spark all ok but still nothing. Take the leads off them no difference in power loss.
What else can i check, can you check the timing on two and three?? Sorry n00bie questions i'm sure.

Can you borrow another distributer cap and try that ? Since you've replaced the leads coil and plugs it's the only other bit that could cause two plugs to not fire . Could also be a worn distributor shaft though but unlikely as the cam lobes for 2 and 3 are on opposite sides from each other .
