Rick:
Check if the distributor is advancing (or retarding - I never know
which), that is, does the six sided cam in the distributor, move
independently of the distributor shaft. I had a high speed random miss
in my 6, drove me nuts until an some guy pointed out that the cam has
seized to the shaft.
Some WD-40 on the screw that is on top of the distributor shaft and some
ten minutes later, smooth as glass!
