87 ea82 miss fires if slpashed by puddle

It's most likely an ignition issue.

Check your distributor cap. I had a cracked one that was letting moisture in and caused misfires.

Check for your plug wires if they're chafing anywhere. Check the plug boots aren't cracked or dry rotted.

 

You can take a spray bottle with water in it and mist over all the ignition components. If spark is leaking out of a chaffed cable you'll see little blue arcs jumping out. Best if done in the dark so you can see it.

Hi spike--welcome to USMB. You'll get a lot more helpful response, like the one above, if you post your question in the "Old Gen Forum."

 

Also, where is Jupiter? Please add a state to your location ID. Thanks.
