If it is missing at high revs, it will likely be:
1) bad condensor
2) timing is off
3) dwell is too big or too small (i.e. contact gap is off)
4) coil is going bad
5) mechanical advance weights are stuck
Put a timing gun on the motor and see if the ignition is advancing per the
workshop manual. You should be ~ 30ish to 40ish deg BTDC by 3-4K rpm. If
it is less than that then your weights are stuck. If timing is ok... then
it's bullet pts 1,3 or 4 above.
