Raise your hand if you drove at least one old Buick this weekend

Yup, and finally though I have a long way to go to wrap up details and get an interior.  I might have overposted this topic, but I'm super excited by the progress.

Short drive for groceries today. Difficult drive 3 weeks out from rotator cuff surgery but at least it is an automatic. Coming home stopped for a light and it felt like I dropped a cylinder with a bad miss. I mean really bad.  At 50 - 55 MPH though never skipped a beat.  Only at idle. Let her cool down and pulled the plugs and all looked fine. All looked the same. Maybe a hair lean if anything. Tossed in a can of Berrymans with a full tank of E-free gas. Let the sorting begin. First ignition issue since I swapped over to Petronix in 2019.

If this was the first drive after sitting for a prolonged period, maybe a sticky valve or two?  Did you hear any unusual 'ticking' while it was misbehaving?  I'd add some Rislone and drive another 100 miles before panicking...
