skipping problem
I just installed new plugs and wires on my Cutlass. Somehow when I was putting them on I ended up developing a dead spot at cruising speed. I've checked my plugs and wires along with the distributor cap and rotor. What else could it be?

When cylinders that are next to each other fire in succession the spark energy can "jump" from one wire to the other and cause a misfire in that cylinder. I have heard that the cylinder pressure causes increased resistance in the plugwire but it's really a moot point if it gets fixed.

That's a pretty big jump in jet size unless you also installed bigger rods. It would make the mixture a lot richer at cruise and might cause the bog. The normal proceedure is to go to a bigger jet and a bigger rod. Virtually all primary rods have the same size tip, which means a bigger jet would make it richer at full throttle. But if you don't go to bigger rods, the mixture would also be much richer at cruise and part throttle, which is not usually a good thing. A richer mixture only helps if the engine needs a richer mixture. Too rich and you lose power and drivability.
