Vette(s): 1976 Silver/Firethorn. L48, 4spd. Original 2 bolt, vortec heads, 9.4:1 CR, Speed Pro Cam: 224/224@0.050, 112 LSA, Eagle Steel Crank.
Made it home and car ran well the whole way.  Must have been one of the components I replaced (probably the coil) or maybe there was a loose connection that I resolved during the replacement.  Thanks again for the help guys!

Oh, and the other good news: 18 mpg on the way back!  Woo hoo!
