As far as my timing, I'm gonna double check that and see how aggressive I can set the timing/carb to squeeze the most power out.

so far your telling me what I stated I already know, it need plugs...good job I said that already. I want to know any little tricks to squeeze a tad bit more out of it before I buy any more parts.
.......read that again. before the misfire it ran a 15.3 I seafoamed it and swapped in a dual plane manifold...when I did I put the distributor in 180* off, the seafoam and timing fouled some plugs. I went to atco unknowing off the issue and ran a 15.0. I just found out the hard way my battery was shot and it runs a ton better now. I guess it didn't have sufficient juice for good spark. tomorrow I'm gonna do the plugs and finish striping the interior. so we'll see what happens.
