It is definitely a "miss"

thanks for the links
Try listening to the injectors through a stethoscope. If you suspect a misfire, pull all injectors while still on rails, disconnect HT lead from coil, direct injectors into trough and have someone turn motor over with starter. You should be able to see injectors working. Next step would be see how much each ejects by collecting in jars for say 15sec. This way you can rule out injection and trigger points as the problem.

Next would be to check the ignition system. Distributor cap , wires seated properly, plugs all look the same and not sooted up? Switch to Pertronix and forget about the points.

Sometimes if car mixture is off, you can get a miss. You can create this by adjusting the knob on the ECU.

Have fun!
