Feels like it did when I had the previous miss. Ended up being two broken springs. Going to go all thru the electrical tonight. Will check springs and valve lash tomorrow. Confirmed timing. Both heads have a separate ground wire. Engine block grounded too. New MSD 6AL2 digital with clean power capacitor.

WBO2 reading about 15:1 at cruise at 3000rpm when it starts cutting out. MSD distributor, phased distributor, vacuum advance set to ported. Initial timing 20° with 34 total when vacuum disconnected.
That's normal for the lifters to act like that. Some bleed off, while some stay pumped up, depending on where they are in the bore, and if there has been any load on them.

Did you check coil bind clearance while you had the heads off/apart?
