That stupid ghost problem is back. It acts just like if you had a cracked cap. Kicks through the intake and exhaust under load. I just repaced the cap and rotor a week ago. When I did that the problem went away. Then it came back. Doing the same accursed trip. Latest things I did was shim up the distributor end play. Unhooked the vaccum advance and checked the ground wires. Without a load the engine runs fine but driving t acts up like a &^%^&%!!. I'm about ready to park it with the pink slip on the front seat. Please! I'm tearing my hair out. What's wrong with that 5^^^&$$%^%&(*engine?

How many miles are on this motor?
Have you performed a compression test?, what is the compression on each cylinder?
Is the timing steady at idle or bouncing?
What is your vacuum at idle?, and is it steady?
What is the fuel pressure at idle?, and under load?
Does the motor after run?
When you adjusted the valve lash, did you note all valves opening and closing equally?
Why are you running straight 50 weight oil?
