I have a 1946 Chevy pickup with a 235 six cylinder. There is a miss that becomes quite noticeable when I accelerate. Have cleaned the plugs and made sure the gap was correct but the miss continues.
Does anyone have ideas on how I can fix this?

A long shot, but examine each plug wire and make sure it hasn't worn through the insulation somewhere. It would miss when you accelerated if there was a weakness in the wires.

I will take Rays suggestion a bit further, make sure the plug leads are not broken internally increasing the overall plug gap beyond the coils capability. Also check the rotor button to centre contact and also rotor end to outer electrode gap with clean surface.

I would not offer anything different. You may want get it in a dark place (No, Not California) and look under the hood while it is running. Goose it some. You'd be looking for a leakage of voltage along the plug wires and distributor cap. Charlie
