Just make sure you do that with the engine off, and that it is dry before
you start it.
Carb cleaner and leaking voltage are a bad combo.

Re: Help, engine misses randomly
Thanks fellas, I gave everything a good clean and replaced the rotor,
distributor cap, igniion wires and spark plugs just because I was
there... now it runs perfectly, thank you for all your suggestions. Now
ALL I have to do is replace the rear main seal so it stops leaking oil
on my drive way, LOL!

Re: Help, engine misses randomly
Actually you would likely be 'Way' better off changing the leaky valve
cover gasket that lets oil run straight down the back of the engine that
imitates a rear seal leak quite well.
To test, warm up the engine and run a clean rag across the rear of the
head below the valve cover. If you find oil, you have found the leak.
