It would be helpful to isolate the skipping cylinder. Unplug the cylinders one at a time to see if the skip is isolated to a single cylinder.
Once I had an HEI skipping which turned out to be the pick up coil. The locator tit had broken off the coil, allowing the coil to rock back and forth. The insulation on the wires cracked, allowing the coil to intermittently short. Replacing the condensor under the cap might help..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Changed out the plug wires today and found one of the old wires
to be faulty (Header had burned thru it). This seemed to stop the
miss, but upon driving car it surges. Noticed the clear fuel filter
was gurgling gas inside. Is this normal, or could I have a faulty
mechanical fuel pump possibly starving the carb of gas.
