Misfiring solved!

[M5Ivan]

My '69 has had a slight misfire since I bought it a few months ago. I originally thought it was a timing or fuel issue and made some adjustments to no avail. Replacing the fuel filter did eliminate an intermittant hesitation I was getting at WOT, but didn't eliminate the misfire. To be honest I didn't even know what the sound was until I gave a ride to somebody over the weekend and they said it sounded like a slight misfire. I pulled the plugs Sunday and found a bent plug in Cylinder 5. I replaced all of the plugs yesterday and it's purring now  So happy!!!

I assume the plug was dropped when I had the compression test done before I bought it. That plug was also carbon fouled along with a few others so I have some fine tuning to do before I replace the carb over the next few weeks.
