when they start going bad you will develop a miss.i usually notice it when i go up a hill or something in high gear at a low rpm and when i try to acelerate it misses.my distributor is out as we speak and hopefully today i'll get it put back together.

lloyd put 3 opti's, 4 set's of plugs, and 3 set's of wires on his befor it would run right now it runs 11.55 @117 all day.what wires do you have??the only ones that worked wright on llotds car where some cheep ones from oreally's,the msd wires would start to miss at high rpm,and if it does that the plugs will go bad .so if it's not running right im shure the plugs are dead plus whatever els is wrong.lt1 are a PITA
good luck
