weird distributor problems...
 

So I finally pulled out my 32 pachanga and fired her up for the first time and one motor fired up instantly and the other just cranked and cranked and cranked so I ended up putting a new ignition sensor in the top of the distributor. Well now it starts but it was missing like crazy and running like crap. So I bought new plugs new wire new cap and rotor changed it all and!......nothing it's still running piss poor. So I was messing around with the motor looking for a solution and at some point learned that if I apply direct pressure to the coil feed wire on the distributor it smoothes out. So I thought huh must be a faulty cap so I put on the old car and I'm still having the same problem. Someone mentioned to me that it could be a ground I've cleaned a few grounds on the block and the thunderbolt module and it is still running poorly. Does anyone have any ideas of what else it could be ? Many thanks in advance guys !

try switching coils.

I haven't tried that yet I brought up this to another guy and he said something about the distributor grounds through the motor. 8t grounds where it sits on the motor and to try lifting it up some and cleaning around the base of it has anyone ever hear of this ?
