l 1' would greatly appreciate your opin-
‘lon and remedial suhgeatinns on the
following: The front cylinder of my
car (Ford, 1916 model) apparently
does not fire. The other three cylind-
111‘s work very nicely. fol uhen the
engine it: running and thc'plug of one
of these three is grounded to top of
thrtlation of speed. but when the plug
of flout cylinder is grounded in this
way no difference is noticeable. 1 nt

the some rosult. I also looked ‘for
electrical trouble in coils, but found
,thom- to vibrate properly and wires
