Cool Miss at Idle when warm

After rerouting plug wires the high speed miss I had is gone. Now I have a miss at idle only after the engine gets warm. Engine rpm drops and idle gets rough then recovers, occurs about every 3-4 seconds. 1986 F-150 with 302 and AOD.
I have changed the fuel filter.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,

Sounds exactly like the problem I am having. If you figure it out let me know what the solution was. I'll let you know if I find anything out.

I've had the same problem with 3 fords a 85 a 76 and a 75 two 460s and 1 390. The ground cable that grounds the engin to the fire wall. I'm not saing this will fix your problem but it is one of the last thing you think of.
