I had some trouble in the past with the mechanical advance sticking with the weights out, but I check that and the timing seems to be good. When I had it apart I looked at the cap and rotor and did not see any tracking, or burning. It is an HEI dizzy, on a 350, with a 1405 on a performer.
What is the best method of tracking down a miss? The engine only has a few thousand miles on it, and sometimes it purrs along just fine, so I do not suspect a valve problem.
Any ideas on this would be appreciated.

Sounds like a carburetor issue to me... Especially when you mention that it runs better cold than warm... Does your carb have an "off-idle" circuit? If so, it's probably dirty......
Without seeing it personally, I can't be sure, but it sounds suspect to me...
