I would definately check plug wires and leads to spark plugs ( the bakelite
tubes down the hole) as these have given myself and others a lot of grief
until traced to them. By changing the bakelite tubes I eliminated arcing to
valve cover. Doesn't take much to throw things off. Or maybe it is a long
shot.
