My 1.9 fouls the rotor and cap contacts. When I have a miss on acceleration that's where I head first.
Also the 1.9 ECU is grounded to the van body via the mounting bracket, so that needs to be a good ground.

It would appear I'm having some ignition troubles. I
am going to attack the obvious this evening when I get
home (plugs, cap, rotor, check wires and fuel filter).
It it's not one of the above, what would cause my 85
1.9L gas motor to miss/run on three like this?
Thanks,
Brian in Salem
PS
Thanks to everyone helping with the Carat springs.
This project is done and what a difference for the
better~!
