Alright, started her up last night and couldnt get it to stumble right away. So I tapped on the right coil a couple times and she stumbled right away!

So I started without the right plug fine. Then I swapped the leads and tried it again, and she wouldnt start!

So my right coils bad! Fingers crossed, knock on wood, but I think I found my problem finally!

Thanks to everyone that helped out! I'll report back when I get everything fixed.
Tom

Did you switch over the plug wire too?

Hello Tom,

Glad you found the problem. Intermittent coil failures are a bi_ch to find. BTW, that was #3 in the list I posted above....
I figured if I posted enough solutions, one of them would be right.

Good luck.
