Check your plug wires in the dark of night... start car, open hood... look for sparks or blue glow. water mist spritz might make any problem more noticable.

Or just replace 'em all and see if it helps.

But I doubt thats the problem... I'd be leaning towards a minor adjustment somehwere. Perhaps start by enriching the carbs a tad. But could easily be an ignition problem as well. Just keep fiddling with it.

Every time I put all my timing and fuel settings to exact spec by the book, the car never ran right without a few days of tinkering and tuning by ear.
