So ever since I got the truck I had a miss. The miss got a bit worse and I am down to having no fun trying to iron it out to running the way it should: it's a 2.8L V6, bronco II.
What I have done so far:

New cap, dizzy, wires, sparkplugs, etc.

My friend suggested the valves- we reseated them and put in all new gaskets...

Next I thought maybe the timing gears, the original nylon ones are holding up nicely and seem to be perfectly fine.

I have used a timing light on this and it is timed and I don't know where to go from here.

Any thoughts? suggestions or ideas?

IT IS DURA-SPARKED

Also, while I am down there, I wanted to replace the oil pan gasket (taking off the timing case ruined half of it) what is the easiest way to take the oil pan off? the oil sump is kinda in the way.

Thanks in advanced.

check your injectors a loose wire or bad injector will cause a miss.
you might try pulling wires at distributer while running if you pull one and no
change you have a dead cylinder then youll no where to test.

Pulling wires while the engine is running is not a very good idea. Also the op's B2 is a bit lacking in the injector department... 84-85 had a carbureated 2.8, rather than a FI 2.9
