Have been chasing a low speed to part throttle miss on my 440. Can pull all wires one at a time (except #2) at the distributor with little effect on the idle or sound of the miss. Here's where i'm stumped, pull #2 engine dies every time, put a test wire with a plug to ground the engine runs the same as when the other 7 are removed one at a time.

Any thoughts?
I've tried new cap, wires, plugs, even changed to an optic pick up, same symptoms every time.

compression is 172-179psi on all cylinders
cam lobes intake +- .004 exhaust +- .003

Thanks Tim

Can you clarify this statement, not sure what this means. To me, this sounds like either a couple of bad wires or a couple of crossed wires. Which brand/size wires are you using?
