miss still happening

[Richard Wakeling]

Hi Dan,
	Your missing problem reminds me of a miss I had with an 88 corvette. Is
your ignition coil sitting on top of the distributor cap.
If it is check the rotor very carefully for burns or tracking. The one I
had was tracking down through the cap and rotor causing it to miss. I
was told later is was a common prob. Solution was repl rotor and cap if
damaged and mount the ign coil away from the cap.
Cheers Richard.
