Default Re: engine misses

I found a misfire that was driving me crazy. I thought it was the timing, points adjustment, coil, carb...nope. It was a little screw that came loose. In the distributor there is an upper plate that the contact points are attached to. One of the two screws came loose below the upper plate and it was shorting out a wire in the lower part of the distributor. Sometime it would run ok and sometimes it would misfire.
