If it misses randomly, no one cylinder in particular then it's probably a
bad condenser.

Subject: [Healeys] Missing under load 64 BJ8
My local shop here in Minneapolis cannot seem to figure out why the car
misses under load. After a good warm up, it seems to run great for a few
minutes and it idles like a champ. As soon as we hit the in town highways
it starts to miss as soon as I accelerate, especially in the 2200 to 3000
RMP range when I put it into overdrive and give it some gas. I know it
seems like a fuel problem but they have assured me the flow is there and it
is electrical after pulling the carbs and cleaning them. We replaced or
checked the distributor (rebuilt), plugs, wires, coil, condenser, points,
timing, new rotor, carbs cleaned and rich needles installed (they were
rebuilt by Jim Taylor). Shoot me some ideas. The bill is out of sight. I
suppose it is possible that some of the replacement parts are bad to so I am
going to make up a new set of high quality plug wires, new Lucas cap,
another new British Car Specialists rotor, condenser, and plug end caps.
