To RodKnock: I stand corrected (a rare event here)

Is your car still mis-firing at higher revs?

I don't know. Have you been taking it out for drives without my knowledge?

No, but I did wake up last night and thought to myself "I bet RodKnock doesn't know that if the plug wires for cylinders 7 & 8 on an FE are running close to one another it can cause a misfire at higher revs." So I immediately added that to the list, after my fourth cup of coffee of course.

Huh. So you're saying that I have plug wires? And if they run too close too each other, I could get a misfire? OK last question. What's a magnetic trigger ignition and do you think I have one?

BTW, I still haven't gone out to the garage and looked underneath to see what the heck my rev limiter is set at. The darn Fall soccer season is coming to a close though.

BTW2, I have I told you lately that I own a Cobra and you don't.

Oh ye of little faith. Just make sure 7 and 8, particularly, are not running along one another. Here is one of many, many, threads on it:

But your wipers don't self-park. And I would rather be left at the bus station with my ERA than ride aboard the "real Cobra bus." Of course, Evan is going to make you ride in the back, Kirkham and all.
