Slight miss
87 speed density. Aftermarket exhaust with dumps, all stock other then that. It has a slight miss from 3500-yellow line. It does buck or feel like the power aint there but you can hear it. Any ideas folks? Any and all help appreciated. Also love the site guys n gals.

Welcome to the site man!
Just to clarify, you hear a miss (do you feel it) from 3500 to 5000, no noticeable power loss and the engine doesn't buck.
Whats the state of your tune (spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor) and whats your timing set at, what fuel do you run, how many miles. Just some starter ideas and basic information

Ok so I decided to pull the plugs for myself. They're all white from running hot, any ideas, I only know there motorcraft plugs. Also the passenger wire on the rear cylinder is corroded really bad in the boot, I cleaned it the best I could and took it for a spin and the miss appears gone.
So I reckon new wires will be bought but what plugs should I buy?

Motorcraft, autolites are **** imo, not platinum, just regular old motorcrafts
autolite products are under the honeywell corporation not ford, motorcraft = ford, autolite = parts store special
don't forget the dialectic grease
