Default Misfire with Jumpy Tach

This has me stumped..

They key is the jumping tach, seems like a primary ignition problem. Under load the car misses. Seems to be at its smoothest while at 3k, but once back under load it misses again. The tach jumps 1-2k either way. Wiggled all grounds at idle, no change. The cap has had pitted terminals for a while now, but not sue that would bounce the tach. If the tach just flucuated a little to match the drop in RPM i'd suspect fuel as well, but it jumps up as well as down.

Thoughts?
  • Carb'd 5.0, fuel pressure is perfect
  • Mallory Max-Fire dist with Mallory coil
  • 2 years old with 4500 miles, never an issue
