I’m having trouble getting my 1986 ranger to start. My current situation is new cap and rotor but no start. Before i swapped it it would sometimes start and run like a washer machine but mostly do the same as now. And before that it would sometimes start and run great sometimes it would run like crap . If it ran like crap it would just “fix” its self again siting for a day and run normally again. I have the cap and wires ran 1 4 2 5 3 6 so they should be all in the right spot. Not sure if I need to replace the whole distributor? The coil is new new ,spark plugs and new wires. Any suggestions are appreciated thanks for reading my post
