Monte;
This may be too late, but before starting to dismantle the carbs, check the
oil in the dampers. Without oil they may be allowing the needles to rise too
quickly on acceleration causing a momentary loss of vacuum and an over rich
condition which can cause the car to hiccup. Doesn't always happen, but it
can.

I'm halfway into a 300 mile trip and we're at the hotel for the night.
The B is missing intermittently, it seems especially just before upshifting
and going up hills. Runs mostly fine at 70 mph on highway, but ,misses some
at town speeds. During the miss the tach remains steady, so I'm assuming
it's fuel related?. I cleaned the points and dizzy contacts to no avail.
This car has only been driven less than 1000 miles in the last year and this
is the first longer distance highway run. It just started missing after
sitting for 6-8 hours.
Junk in carb jet it does have a filter)? Other suggestions to check?
Thanks, Monte

79B, with HIF's and points dizzy.
