I think mine is no good.

For one when it gets wet it's all over and wants to stall. Common right?

Now when at idle the car loops around and drops what almost feels like the same point everytime and is about to stall some times it is very intermittent.

But when driving it's perfect.

It just misus on idle all the time and runs
Pretty horrible really.

If I have the car in neutral and rev it has a mis
But when driving it's fine and there is no miss.

Had the car dyno tuned and it runs spot on
Plugs are looking perfect like they should after doing lots of driving around

Thoughts???

check how loose the cap is, maybe it explains letting water in and possibly vibrating too much at low idle?

Its funny coz im having problems exactly the oposite, runs perfect at idle and shti when you rev. Its not my dizzy though and im getting for different readings from each plug lol

Measure the dwell angle and that should tell you how stuffed your dizzy is.

The dwell angle for my car is 57 - 63d. I have no idea if an A+ is different from that. I don't set my points by gap anymore.

Put the mega jolt in. Pretty awesome..

Been driving around for the last 3 days on it..

No more damp rain drama smooth too :)

Something funny is going on with my distributer though.

Does this mean you're not selling it any more?
