It does it just sitting on jack stands at 6-7 thousand as well as on the track

Are you SURE you do not have carb issuse?

[Chunk]

I am positive. I have swapped them.

if you have red coils make sure sparkplug wires are all the way in you should not see the connector. if notthat   spray wd40 around carb boots and behind where those vaccum boots are

Do you run the cover? If so, make sure that the plate does not contact the cover at all, look for evidence of contact/shorting.
Have seen different model year cover gaskets that are thinner that will allow contact/arcing.

Jim,

I heard there was some arcing going on inside your helmet too....Now I know why you have no hair on your melon.

Sorry Gimp....I just couldn't resist.

Now back to the original post of assisting with the ignition problem.

 Lol... all in good fun ! Made me chuckle. I was waiting responce from Jim in defense or agreement

I'm just waiting to see how long it's going to take to put in the pick-up plate...

[Hoopy_boy]

 I hear ya... was wondering if it was a valve issue or a cam follower hanging up in the head if the plate doesn't fix it

I am pulling the engine out this weekend. My wife has a long list of  Hone-do's before I can get back to work on it. I do run the cover and will inspect for wear and maybe even space it out a ways?. I am putting the engine in a different car to get ready for the nationals so I am planning on pulling it out and inspecting the plate and pick ups well, and changing it regardless of how it looks. Thanks for the help guys!
