Misfire at high revs

Call or email Mel Mallory at FS Ignition and explain your simptoms. My guess is the igntion module is working perfect. It either works or it doesn't.
Timing this distributor correctly is important. It can be a little sensitive but it should not cause misfiring if it is off a little. You indicated the distributor button was changed. Make sure it is tight. If it isn't your distributor might have moved without you realizing it. You said you changed the coil it might not have the correct resistance value for your FS distributor module. My main guess is you have a fuel flow problem. First check if any filters you have in the line are blocked then check the carburetor for dirt or blockage. The high speed nozzle could be partially restricted or if this is a new carburetor it could have the wrong size nozzle which could restrict the flow at higher rpm's.

Thanks CT,
I've emailed Mel but don't expect a reply till tomorrow due to the time diference between here and there. If nothing has changed with the replacement dizzy, I'll have a close look at the carby (downdraught) but my gut says dizzy.
 
Well, it took some time but life sometimes gets in the way.:confused:
I took the car for a drive today with an original style distributor in it and it flew. No sign of a miss even when I took it to 30 mph in second. That tells me that the problem IS in the distributor. I'll wait till the morning to see what Mel says or maybe I will ring him.
Getting closer!:D
