Thanks for the input thus far guys. I do have had new Champion, then new Autolite plug in it with no impact on the issue, and swapping mags with a good running F-12 has ruled out the mag. I did use an induction type timing light to check the fire on all 4 wires, and regardless of mag setting, I was getting a very repeatable spark thru the wire on all cylinders.

No change in exhaust smoke color is apparent during the missing (indicating no wasted gas going up the stack). Maybe someone can shed some light here. It's pretty dark where I am. Thanx guys .........
