Two things,
You see sparks at no. 6 plug lead near the distr. cap. NOT GOOD.
You also mention that the petrol looks cloudy. Could be contaminated
with water, dirt, diesel, to much alcohol/ethanol. Some older tank
coatings do not like alcohol/ethanol and dissolve/react. Drain and fill
up at a petrol station with a high turnover.
Also check if the petrol pump delivers enough pressure and volume.

Until recently my BJ8 has run like a champ. I now have a slight
hesitation/miss on acceleration in all gears and when standing
still. I have cleaned the carbs (some black silt was in the
bowls) and re-tuned the engine a couple of times as well as
changed the plug wires and cap last night. The engine ran like a
top when I went to bed.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Not being one to leave good enough alone I decided
to check and see if it was the distributor cap or the plugs that
were the problem (I thought it had to be one of the two). So
this morning I put the old wires into the new cap, started it up
and it ran rough. I then tried the new wires in the old cap,
started it up and it ran rough. So I returned everything to how
it was last night and now it runs rough with everything the same
as last night. Goblins must have gotten in there over the
night, I guess.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Anyway, I?ve read the archives and tried most of
the suggestions. Today I removed the fuel filter, no
difference although there was a bit of the black silt in the
filter and the fuel looked cloudy (never had this before, it?s
always been clear - byw, silt was in the carb bowls as well).
I looked at the distributer and plug wires in the dark, and
there was some light at the location of plug No. 6. When I
put my finger behind the left exhaust pipe I got only very hot
air. When I placed my finger behind the right exhaust pipe I
got a fluttering sound. I?ve put in 2 new rotors, no change.

<div class="">1. The coil is probably 15 years (10,000 miles)
old. I would test it but I don?t really know how. Any

<div class="">2. I don?t want to jump to any conclusions, BUT,
the miss started maybe 50 miles after filling up at a discount
gas station (there was little choice). Could the gas I put in
