missing and sputtering

I have an 87 Formula 383. It is missing and sputtering intermittently. Mostly on lite accel, seems to run good at WOT. It also pops out the exhaust. It feels like secondary ignition, but I have switched out everything that could cause this. My fuel pressure is good, my timing is good. I have no codes. I have hurd that the MAF sensor can cause some pretty strange driveability concerns. I have cleaned it with MAF cleaner, but still runs poorly. I was wondering if anyone had encountered some similar problems and the MAF was the cause. Thanks

Re: missing and sputtering

Found the problem, after starting over at square one. Found a loose electrode on one plug. Bosch +4 plugs.
