It's the Marvel Mystery Oil that did it. I don't know whats in that stuff, but it will do anything but grow hair on a bald head.

Okay, this may sound strange but my 454 Mag had the same problem and the only thing that fixed it was a new coil. I know it sounds weird but it worked. Just ask Gordo.

I think sometimes changing the coil fixes a problem, because they are actually fixing a bad connection, or coil wire.
