Good, jerky is usually electrical. I had a dirty coil terminal years back on my 82 Mustang. Their was a bunch of white corrosion in the coil tower. It bucked like turning a light switch on and off. Wire brushed the coil wire, and coil tower, totally went away.

At this point I'd pick up some quality cop boots and swap them all out, along with a little dielectric grease on end to sparkplugs.

Using an inline spark tester I was able to determine that the #2 coil was weak. It wasn't completely failed it was just weak compared to the rest of the coils.
Having that visual to the spark helps.
Took several hours to test and find the culprit.

Thank you for all of your help.

Did you rent or buy that tester? Glad you figured it out. Moose!

Nice inexpensive tool. Are other members might want to throw in their tool box.
