I got to the heart of the miss...bad plug. I bought Autolite plugs and replaced the bad one with the same (number 46). Maybe I should change brands. Anyway, there is still a hesitation that I cannot get out. Idle, is smoother, but not perfect, leaning out air mix doesn't help. I haven't seen a lot of straight sixes that idle perfect, especially with miles on them. I noticed when I checked all the plugs that there is some carbon at the rear 3 cylinders. The car starts crisply and doesn't stall. I have premium fuel in it right now. It didn't like regular at all. Right now I have to work on it static as it is up on jack stands for replacement of the rear brakes and emergency brake cables (it was an adventure finding the cables. Thank God for NAPA).There was an minute bit of play in the distributor shaft, as per the feedback I got on my last post about this. I still think I'm missing something simple. I just cannot figure out what!!
