Sam:
I had a problem with 'missing' on my '78 clubcab (360 V8) on a Sunday. The
plastic on the leading edge of the cap's electodes was badly burned. I
replaced the cap, which appeared to solve the problem for about 24 hours,
then it begain again.
Took it into my mechanic on Monday .... problem was a bad coil.
Hope this helps.
