If the cap and rotor are old, the build up can just cause a weak spark
which 'I' can notice as a loss of power on my engines.

Too many folks forget to check them with the fancy 'e'lectronic
ignitions because they don't arc out as fast as with the old points
system.

He still didn't say if it was checked. It was his dad's city truck, my
bet is the cap and rotor are original still....

It sure is an easy check and a cheap fix if that is the trouble.
