Any/all advice or ideas would be appreciated.
Is it a dead miss or just part time?
Can you feel miss on the road?

You can not tell if cap and wires are good by looking at them.
What engine and engine code and new or old syyle dist cap?
Always us AC delco plugs and cap and rotor and good brand of wires on a tune up.
Check for good hot blue spark from coil and to the spark plugs.
Make sure fuel pressure is up to par and also camshaft retard setting is close to 0 degrees - or +.
Any engine check egine light or codes?
