[Healeys] low speed miss

[Bob Spidell]

Had an intermittent miss once, though it was mostly higher speeds under load.  Finally diagnosed with the 'dark test:' 
run the car in a dark garage--but with plenty of ventilation--and look for any sparking.  My problem was an aftermarket 
distributor cap that leaked.  Put an original Lucas in; problem solved.  Also, if you're running a standard distributor 
cap with carbon-core wires you'll get missing sooner or later.

But, an intake leak sounds more likely in your case (but the dark test is quick and easy).
