August 22, 200420 yr comment_92290 maybe points or condenser on the dizzy? Does it always miss, or only when warm, cold, etc? Coil could get funky when warm?

August 23, 200420 yr comment_92332 Did you mention replacing plug wires? Have you removed one plug wire at a time to test each cylinder, to see if problem changes? Pulling a plug wire on a dead cylinder- problem should stay the same. Pulling a plug wire on a good cylinder problem gets worse.Have you had your carbs or intake manifolds off recently? possible gasket leak, don't use old gaskets, don't over torque manifold nuts. (You probably know that though).So your problem really didn't change after you made your tune-up changes? your miss is always there, or only after car is at operating temp.?

August 23, 200420 yr Author comment_92387 Good news i fixed it i hada slight blockage in the back carby and after stopping the car at the shops i went to drive off and she was only running on 4 cylinders. Turns out there was some $^!# in the flat bowl. After cleaning it out shes back to her best.
