Gator,

That's a great suggestion, sir. Now to get a pair of insulated spark plug pullers!

To answer your questions, this engine has 40,447 miles on it from new. The first 30,000 miles occurred between 1952 and 1958, and I'm not sure how long it sat between being driven, but it gets driven 100-200 miles a week at highway speeds when it's cooperating now.

In Park, the miss is obvious at the tailpipe, and it's steady. I would definitely say it decreases as RPMs increase -- at 1,000 RPM or so, it's gone.
