General health check.  Not quite sure what is the problem.  Runs good at idle.  Runs good up through the 4 gears till about 3500 or 4000.  Then I get some misfire or backfiring.  It might be in the distributor also.  Just trying to do some general checking before taking to a shop. 

So your saying doing a hot leak down test on a cylinder should be 94 psi if the incoming is 100 psi ?  Do not understand the 6%. 

Camshaft is starting to go i would bet.My way of testing for camshaft is take air cleaner lid off and go down highway and hold it wide open till 4-5000 rpm and u will hear a fluttering through the carb.Most of the time it is 1 or 2 lobes starting to go on camshaft.
