I was using acell plug wires then I changed to ford racing wires. I am using motorcraft plugs. I also put dielectric grease in the plug wires then boots. They are pushed down all the way on both ends

On my 390 I bought a hei dist a few years ago. Here in the past few months I have had a miss on hard pull at low rpms. I changed the plugs, wires, dist cap, coil and ran a new wire from the dist to the fuse block. The other night I  opened the hood with it running after dark and it looked like my plug wires where see through. There was blue fire going everywhere around the plug wires. What is causing this? It was doing the same thing before I changed all the parts mentioned above. I also have several grounds I checked under the hood to make sure they were clean and tight. The hold down on the distributor is also clean. I am out of ideas

I ordered a coil but have not received it yet. Good Idea to try if coil does not work

Still has the miss at a hard pull. New plugs, wires, rotor, and cap. The engine is grounded to the frame and the radiator support and battery. What else could this be?

Over the years on my trucks I have owned every time this happened it was the wires. That is why I changed them first. The plugs are on order so the worst thing is I have a new rotor, cap, wires, and plugs. I enjoy asking questions here to get your opinion. Sometimes you guys are right on the  problem other times your not. Thanks for all the responses

The rotor had a little bit of arcing marks on the inside tabs and the rotor end looks a little worn. May just replace the plugs and the rotor and  cap

I had a miss with my 390 pulling a hill. So I opened the hood after dark with it idling and had blue fire around the 4 front plug wires One of them was arcing  from the plug to the distributor. So I bought a new set of ford racing wires. They are doing the same thing. I put a small amount of grease inside the wire boots. What am I missing?
