I could pull the distributor of the barracuda and try it but i got a 1000 alignment appointment. I'm thinkin I will just go see my friends at napa and buy another pick-up coil.
Well it's an inexpensive part, and a little time to put it in. You will need to set the gap on the reluctor to .008 DO NOT use a regular metal gauge, use a brass one.
I hate to see you throw parts at it if that isn't it, but the symptoms you describe are very familiar, I have had it happen to three different vehicles.
Also, before you change part out do the two tests and then do them again after you change it. I'd be curious to see if in fact you get different results.
