How does the misfire manifest itself can you feel it, have you scanned it
with a full function scanner checking live misfire parameters? A misfire
should set a code at least po300. Do you mean the trim is showing the engine
is rich and trying to lean it down?

What are you seeing for vacuum readings?  How did the old plugs look?
Timing steady?
