[Tigers] Timing deviates - advice needed

	Somewhere out there on the web is an Axiom: Whenever you think your
having a carb problem, before touching the carb first check the ignition
system and timing.

A friend of mine with a 68 Mustang (with Mallory dist.) had a problem where
the car would start just fine, but just above idle it would start to
misfire, but when the RPM was raised higher it seem to run just fine.  After
I tore the carb. down THREE times I was convinced that it was not the carb.
(which he seemed to think was the problem).  I decided to check the timing,
as soon as I put the timing light on I could see the timing was missing (no
flash) along with the miss of the engine.  So now I knew that it was the
ignition that was the problem, I decided to start with the coil, he had one
of those big yellow Accel Super Coils, I changed the coil, engine ran fine.
