Fellow fiends:

Okay, after a few previous boastful postings I guess its my turn for humble 
pie:  on the drive home Friday the '63 B developed a misfire.  That is, I 
feel a subtle lurch in the car and an interruption in the normal sound of 
the engine, pretty frequently too.  No backfire and no obvious sound from 
the carbs.  Only happens under load, not in the garage blipping the 
throttle.  Is this just bad timing?  There is no knock.  Keep in mind I have 
new wires, new plugs, new coil.  Is this a carb problem?  Is my coil bad 
already?  I am certain this is a problem that just developed.  In earlier 
drives in the car it ran fine.  Any and all advice would be appreciated.
