Engine miss fixed
I just got done replacing my spark plug wires and WOW! what a difference. Apparently those things have been going bad for a while and I just didn't notice till that miss got bad enough to cause a real bad stumble under load. My idle smoothed back out and I have loads more power now. It still surprises me that there were no errant sparks while it was cold, but once it was hot it put on a fourth of july show at night.
Anyhow, thanks for the suggestions on finding it.

Wires are a good idea especially with gas as high as it is. A set of wires will pay for itself
pretty quickly in mpg.

taylor wires are great will last a ton longer and have a lot less resistance than the parts store crap to begin with so your ignition parts will last longer. more spark will get to the plugs as well. they run about 45 bucks a set through summit
