Another thing to check is your firing order.. I had my plugs changed at a
place I swear was like out of Ferris Buellers day off... I take in my red
MGB-v8 and they said.. we will take care of her.. we are professionals..
anyways.. they crossed 6 and 8 .. and I had issues

OK, I suck at diagnosing ignition problems (somebody correct me if my logic
is way off) but here goes:
First, by "missing", do you mean "knocking"/"pinging" or is it hesitating?
If it's knocking, consider this: Do you have a vacuum-advance on your
distributor? Might want to check for leaks/cracks.
If it's hesitating, and you have a carburetor, check your acceleration
enrichment mechanism. Heat can cause all kinds of issues with carbs, from
mechanical binding/expansion.
If it's just one or two cylinders not firing, I don't know what to tell you
(if it;s EFI, it's remotely possible that a intermittent injector short/open
circuit could cause this)
Again, if I'm way off here, somebody correct me so I can learn from this,
too.
