I'd next take a look at air leaks on the inlet side of things. Could be a
leaky gasket between carb and intake manifold, or intake manifold gasket
leak. Could be a leaky vacuum system, or improperly connected hoses. If
someone has altered the emissions system in the past, knowingly or
otherwise, this can cause a miss. Could be a bad EGR valve.

When do you notice the miss, just at idle or on heavy acceleration or when
cruising?
