Random Misfire, 1993 240 200

So another bit of fun. We're approaching 500k on the 240 and I suppose odd problems are to be expected. Today's adventure appears to be ignition related. Smooth running EXCEPT for the occasional stumble.

New:

COIL - BOSCH OEM
COIL harness spade connectors
CAP
ROTOR
POWER STAGE - BOSCH OEM
PLUG WIRES
PLUGS - NGK BPR6ES

When she's running at highway speed, it's just super smooth EXCEPT for what feels like random misfire, which can cluster or go for a few minutes without manifesting.

No lag or symptoms of fuel delivery issues.

No codes.

No correlation between heat/humidity and missing.

No worsening under load, but you do notice it more because the miss hits when you're needing acceleration.

Ideas?
