    I think Denny has nailed it, you probably have a damaged reluctance tooth

    More good ideas. Here's more:

    -all new plugs
    -moved plug wires around, still problem with #8
    -HEI dist was new 5 years ago with at most 2 hours of use (but yes could still be bad)
    -as noted before, seem to be getting good spark to plug
    -dist is tight, no play but the reluctance tooth...? Dont know what that is: help!
    -yes the rotor does not seem to point directly at the cap #8 point.... but if its off there wouldn't it be off at all the cap points... but its firing on the other cylinders.
