Congratulations! I know the feeling. I chased a problem like this on a '68 Corvette for almost a year. It turned out to be the plug wires off one position in the cap plus a slipped harmonic balance. That was FUN.

Did I miss something? What did you find that caused the problem?

As I remember, the distributor miss-aligned and plug wiring. Believe there were multiple threads going on the same topic.

I read all the posts three times thinking it was me missing something. HaHa
