Thanks for the info.

I did check the distributor shaft and is has very slight play, just enough that you can notice it. I'm not sure what you would consider normal, it's not sloppy by any means. I'll try the advance, never thought of turning it by hand

Everything else I've tried. I just did a head gasket a little over a week ago so it got all new manifold gaskets and the valves were all set (.14 hot) and doubled checked. The plug wires are pretty new, as are the plugs. It ran the same way with the old wires and plugs too. It also has a newish points, condenser & cap, non of which got rid of the skip.

It's not a constant skip, it's a every so often skip. I think if I was loosing a cylinder all together it would make it a lot easier.

Retarding the timing a bit does help though.

I can try the propane trick though, maybe there's something up with the manifold.

Thanks,

K
