MG TD TF 1500 - MG TD Electrical Problem

I have an MGTD that has had a complete tune up, including new plugs, wiring, ignition coil, etc. I have also had the ammeter rebuilt.

The engine was running great until it started misfiring with one cylinder then all cylinders. My mechanic is at a loss to solve this problem. He is not an mg specialist.

I believe its an electrical problem as I recently installed a new fuel pump.

I did check the spark on 2 plugs. The spark looked intermittent, weak or non existent. Maybe a coil failure?

Any suggestions to help solve will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Did they replace the condenser? Failure of new condensers is an all to common problem.

is it the correct coil--needs to be around 3ohm resistance accross the primary terminals and is the polarity correct-
