Hi Guys
Well, I finally found out what the hell was going on with my missfire. I changed the plugs, coil and the leads, but as it turned out I had gapped the plugs wrong. I've got an Australian Ford shop manual and in there it said to gap the plugs at 1.3 to 1.4mm(Oz is metric) but dear ol Dad laughed and said set em at 1.1 mm. I guess the moral of the story is....................Start with the basics. Hope this helps someone else out that might be looking a little to deep. Merry Christmas Guys
