    You didn't mention what you have for plug wires, might want to check them with an ohmeter and see what condition they are in....

    what dave said ,.. if you have an automatic trans put it in gear and give it throttle against the brake and see if it misses .. or do it in the dark and look for voltage jumping

    Thanks guys. The wires are 8mm taylor wires. The plugs are new A/C just replaced. Valve springs are stock sb and only have 1400 miles on them. Just one of those things I just can't put my finger on it. I'm going to check the alumninum gas line to see if it has a kink in it. After our show this week. Thanks for the valuable hints.
