I don't think you understand who makes the dist caps.
The same one you got, could be made for ,and put into a mfg branded box.
The part just needs to meet mfg specs,so you weren't told fact based info.
Plugs,wires and cap,are more preventative maintainance items, than a fix for your issues.

So you really have not diagnosed the problem yet,just changed a few things, without knowing how to test your vehicle to find the problem

Is there a saftey shutoff on a 1992 ford 700 gas 370 bucket truck to keep it from geting fire at plugs

F700 truck (F) 5.9, 6.6 and 7.0L engine 370 = 6L sure
spark, fire is fuel burning, and is 2nd after spark (order)
buy the service manual to learn all wiring here easy.
so is an old distributor, engine 92' push rod heads.
and stand alone spark coil and this coil spark tested good
well if yes spark is good NOW! that is what that first test proves
and proves safeties are not cutting spark but may cut fuel.
spark not making plugs means the distributor itself is bad.!
or all spark HV wires bad and all plugs 100k old and dead fouled,
EOL that. or
a bad cap ,bad rotor,(or missing rotor or distrib. is not timed ! anywhere near accurate, dizzy mount is loose?
we test all spark plugs for spark not just 1 (all). and the coil too.


if spark is good test fuel now works, (a spray can called instant start)
into air cleaner pipe tunnel.)

watch scotty K, do that easy..
  • engine good
  • spark good
  • spray fuel works for 3 second run, even do it 3 or more times
  • so is fuel dead (injectors? (what ever is there IDK))
to hear engines sounds nice not valves bending (LoL)

I have a miss fire

Recheck the firing order; 1-6-5-4-3-2

On the distributor passenger side radiator to fire wall. 2-4-6-coil
On the distributor drivers side radiator to fire wall. 3-1-5

Cylinder passenger side radiator to fire wall. 2-4-6
Cylinder drivers side radiator to fire wall. 1-3-5

Good luck and also check the distributor cap again for proper seating.

1990 Mercedes 190e ignition system miss firing after much work

OVP relay, coil and wires usually are the culprit. If not then it gets spendy. EZL is alot and may be an issue. EHA / EGR tube gets clogged also which comes off the exhaust.
