Sorry, I did know that you have a v8.
I would still suspect hose things, arcing wires being #1.

Mis-fire problem I had...I'd taken it to a local shop only to find out they didn't really know....honestly, anything. I found the problem and got a set of MSD HEI plug wires to go with the HEI Distributor. I had purchased some cheap Accel ones from the local parts store..here's what I found...and have repositioned them away from the headers.

It just ran really rough. What bugged me the most was the shop said they couldn't figure it out but put in a whole set of plugs. Oh well, what can you do?
