Graham, if it's any help my RP used to suffer from occasional and persistent misfires and the problem was sorted by changing the Lucas DK distributor for a Bosch one from Willie McKenzie. I have looked at the old dizzy, which I keep on the shelf just in case and there's nothing really tangible about why it causes the misfire, but the change certainly put the car right. Might be worth trying a known good dizzy to see if it solves the problem.

The Bosch was fitted over 15 years ago and has worked perfectly, having since covered many thousands of trouble free miles.
