Chad, I"ve been following this thread, and have run into the same situation as you, and found the probblem to be a bad distributor or magneto cap. Believe it or not, some of them are bad when new, and may cause a miss. You might try borrowing the cap from your H and trying that which will tell you if it is the cap or not. Beyond that, I would check the gap in your points and make sure they are set right and make sure there are no wires grounding out on the distributor. Doing this may not tell you what the problem is, but it may eliminate or pinpoint something very simple. Someone mentioned fuel. It could be a fuel problem if the missing is random and not happening on just one cylinder, but if it is happening on just one cylinder, then that would eliminate fuel as your problem. As others have suggested, it could come down to bad bushings in your distributor but that is easy to diagnose by feel. The saving grace with these situations is that short of bad valves, it comes down to ignition or fuel, which requires mostly patience to properly diagnose.
