V8 not running round

we have a weird problem with a v8 engine. The engine does not run round, like a sack of potatoes. technically the engine is very very good. everything about the ignition is new. Coil, cap, candles, ignition cable, contacts, everything. with an electric sd1 ignition, the motor also runs not round. Carburettors are good.
only little movement on the throttle shaft, but new rubbers. the airflow is sync. and the setting makes the candles light brown to white.
gasoline supply is good too. the customer says: it was the same with the machine before. there is no such thing as wrong air. when checking the ignition time with stroplamp yesterday, i have seen that the lightning is irregular. after 4 to 5 the lamp will turn off once for one .
We had already suspected the ignition lock and have changed it.
:-(
We are finished with our knowledge, I would be so happy if you have a good tip.
Regards Jorgen
 
amp? I have installed a new coil. what do you mean with
amplifier? the car runs with contact ignition .

the stroplamp was broken. a lamp direkt on the sparc indicates no ignition gaps.
how can we determine whether the problem is due to carburetor or to ignition?
