Issue resolved. Long story short I isolated it down to a black wire running to the front of the started. Connection was corroded and barely making contact. Cleaned terminal and plug really well, smeared it with dielectric grease and now no more miss.

What in the world does a wire on the starter have to do with causing a miss when the engine is running.
Anyway, took her out and "WOW" what a difference, I had forgotten how this little "eta" will run, --like a scalded dog-- maybe it's the 19lb Mustang GT injectors or the tuning up of everything else. Whatever it is she really scoots now. So much so that I blew the brake line (under the drivers side going to the rear) trying to slow her down tonight.
No worries, hand brake and gearing down got me the rest of the way home. Glad it gave out on me rather than my daughter, need to teach her how to stop when there are no brakes in case it ever happens to her.

So now just to replace that l-o-n-g brake line tomorrow.

Thanks for all the help and support.
