[Healeys] Engine misfiring

[Rod Shepherd]

Hello folks,
If your points are open more than 16 thou you will get misfiring as you
speed up, if they are set less than 14 thou the car will tend to miss at
idle but run fine.

Take a look at your rotor, sparkplug wires. loose distributor shaft for
openers.

What would be the possible causes of an engine to "pop" or misfire upon
acceleration?

Thanks.
