Hello Mike,
I still suspect the master switch, or the white/black wire to it.
To check this, just take the white/black wire off the distributer and coil.=
=20
And instead make a temporary connection (wire) from coil to distributer.=20
And now make a test drive.
=20
Cheers,

        Thanks to all who have obviously given this misfire issue
        considerable thought. I will be sure to check all suggestions.=20

        I  should like to point out however that it is the immediate
        vanishing of the misfire after filling the fuel tank that has me
        confused.=20

        This has happened three times simce the problem appeared.

        I just don't understand how an ignition problem could change as a
        result of filling the tank.

        Furthermore I'm convinced that this is not a fuel starvation
        problem because the amount of engine power being used has no
        effect.

        Totally baffled.

        Thanks again to all ... I'll  report back.

         Hi John -

         =20

         Yes, that was the point I was trying to make, sorry if it fell
         through bad interpretation!  As Ed McMahon used to say, "You Are
         Correct Sir!"

         =20

         Cheers,

          Coils can fail with heat and then recover when cooled. I had one
          that had these symptoms and when looking closely I saw that the
          insulating oil had run out through a very small crack in the
          bottom of the case.

           Michael -

           Just as a follow up to my email since the symptoms seem to
           manifest themself  ...=20

               * whether the car is warmed up or not - this typically will
                 exclude anything related to fuel or the coil
               * whether the car is under load or not - this typically will
                 exclude anything related to fuel
               * whether the choke is pulled or not - this typically will
                 exclude anything related to fuel
               * somewhat intermittent but systematically under all
                 conditions - suggests to me wiring / ground issues

           Given this I'd check (as a priority):

               * Battery Master (when these fail they will ground the coil)
               * primary ignition wire (white) from the switch to coil
                 (cycle the connections)
               * motor ground straps (cycle the connections)
               * loose wires in the dizzy
               * loose ignition wires into the dizzy or spark plug

           Other things to possibly do (as secondary):

               * replace rotor
               * replace dizzy cap

           I don't think it would be contacts or condensor simply because
           this would either be very regular all the time, or maybe
           sensitive to temp.

           Best,

           =20

            re: "... I don=E2=80=99t recall if that wire is separate from t=
he
            distributor wire ..."

            It is (or should be). If the battery switch is in the 'OFF'
            position it grounds the coil primary so no spark.

                Have you tried cycling the connections on the white wire
                from the ignition switch to the coil, and also from the
                coil to the distributor.

                =20

                You might also want to try disconnecting the black and
                white wire at the coil from the battery master switch - if
                it=E2=80=99s failing you=E2=80=99ll get weird symptoms like=
 this.  If that
                wire is disconnected the car should run no problem.  I
                don=E2=80=99t recall if that wire is separate from the dist=
ributor
                wire, if it isn=E2=80=99t you=E2=80=99ll have to disconnect=
 it from
                underneath the master switch itself.
