kbess1107, I may have missed you writing about replacing the spark plug wires. If not done yet, it may be something to try. Also, separating the #5 and #7 wires (the rear two on the LH side). These two cylinders fire sequentially and may be interrupted from their normal order by leakage between their plug wires. My practice is to use the outside of the '55 wire bracket to separate the wires. A better solution is to install the '56 type wire brackets with are wider and separate the wires even more. This was a mod Packard used to help prevent what they called "induction firing". Just a suggestion.
Later, that same day... Here is a photo of the spark plug wire routing on my previously owned 55 Clipper.
