if your running the standard points setup (I had the bushes/bearings and weights done) dont even bother mucking around with them, go after market dual point or electronic, worth every Dollar!!!! My ex MQ was a missile, was good seeing the big brother 4.2 GQ's in the rear vission mirror squerming...... :twisted: ohh by the way do not even bother with the nissan ZX range of electronic dizzies either, I wasted $400 on them and the fragile magnets were very brittle.....

What sort of electronic ignition?? You need a decent ignition module to drive a high output coil, the petronix unit may struggle if it cannot run a proper electronic ignition coil. High energy coils have lower primary resistances and draw more current, if the module cant handle at least 4 amps then you'll need to upgrade it.
You can set the plug gaps down to .6mm and see if that helps, this will help to isolate the issue. If there is improvement then you need more secondary output. Speak to Micheal at ICE(9532 6000) for big output modules. Weak valve springs can also be the cause of what your'e describing.
