Brian,
I still think it's the districutor shaft wobble ... so if you need a break from thinking and worrying about the mystery, why don't you pull the distributor, disassemble, and replace the bushings? I can just about guarantee that the engine WILL run better afterwards, and maybe fix the miss!
As for the ground leads at the CDI-unit, my recollection is that the braided pair is terminated in one 1/4" quick-disconnect female terminal, and that went directly to terminal 'D' at the CDI-unit, and that one of the corner bolts of the CDI-unit had a circular, bare spot on the console sheet metal, and that a short, brown jumper wire ran from a circular terminal lug, called a ring terminal, under the CDI-unit, in direct contact with the bare sheet metal ... the other end of the brown wire (approx. 14 ga wire) was a 1/4" quick disconnect, and was clipped on the second terminal at 'D' ... so no 'vacancies' exist on terminal ;'D.' If you did not find a brown ground jumper on your CDI-unit, I suggest you fabricate and install one ... it may be the answer to the miss!!!
Matt,
If you clip the black lead to ground at the distributor, and the red lead to the same terminal on the distributor that the points lead goes to inside the distributor, your dwell meter should work.
