I checked all of my spade connections, ran a temporary extra ground, but no change. I also bypassed the ignition switch, thinking it might be intermittently grounding out, but that didn’t remedy the problem either.

New plug wires show up tomorrow.

I also pulled my 7inch dual diaphragm brake booster, and it is leaking very badly. New one on order. That sucker was in service for only 7 months before it failed. Now it’s got me wondering if it’s been leaking since day one…
Did brake fluid get sucked out of the master cylinder though the booster and into the engine intake? That could cause a miss.
