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.

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!
