Does the C&L have the correct sample tube? Did you set the fuel pressure with the vacuum line off? Stupid question, I know, but it happens sometimes.

The TFI module mounted on the distributor is usually the culprit for a high speed miss on a warm engine. If the problem does not occur when the engine is cold, the TFI module is definitely suspect. You may need a special socket to remove the TFI module, but most auto parts stores will have one for $5-$7.

Or you can grind down the outside of a 7/32" deep socket untill it fits.
