Default Checked some things last night.

I had limited time last night.

I pulled the cap looking for anything odd, nothing.

Checked timing at full advance was 36 as expected.

Pulled all the rev limiter plugs and turned them up well over red-line.

I noticed that the 4-6-8 dial on the MSD was not really at 8. It was somewhere between 4 and 8. I dialed that in exactly. It did not appear to have a lot of tension on the "dial"

I checked the 7-8 plug wires they were separated, I rerouted them so they were more separated.

I took it out for a ride the stumble, miss, cutout was gone for several high 5,000 rpm shifts. Stumbled once. The difference between this and other tests was that the car was not as hot as usual. I thought I saw the tach take off once, hard to pay attention exactly at that RPM.

So far tonight I am going to:

Do a first to 4th shift to see if I can get the clutch to slip.
Check resistance in the plug wires.
Check the connections on the ignition switch.

What else?
