When I check the phase, the rotor lines up perfectly on the post. When I rev it up, it moves toward the leading edge. Since I only have about 12 crank degrees of advance, I only have about 6 degrees of distributor advance. Vacuum advance activation doesn't change the relationship of the rotor to cap.

I think I may have found something. While tracing the wires to the 6AL, I found a place where I soldered the wire, then added shrink wrap. It just happened that when I zip-tied everything up under the dash, that solder joint got bent. It may have been a bad joint, failing intermittently causing the miss. It was the small red wire that turns on the 6AL. By the time I got it fixed, it was too late to start it. I will see tomorrow.
