hesitation back fire

[newbie]

Hi all, ive had some great advice on here, and need some more. Ive had my nova gsi a few months shes been sat for about 5 years i think before i had her. Ive done all work and shes got mot tomo, fingers crossed. Bringing her back from my mates today i had her running nice up to about 30, had an open road in front of me, put my foot down a lil, hit 40, she stuttered back fired, and was not running well. Previous owner has had it camed, im thinking it could need timing done, any ideas anyone, thanks in advance :)

When were the plugs and leads last changed, ive just had sporadic misfire higher in the rev range on my xe due to plug failure!

Will want new ignition system. As in leads, plugs, cap and arm

i think there were some variance in dizzy caps for 1.6 8v; maybe take part number/part in to get the right one..?

Could be the mixture. Check the plugs to see if there the right coulor.
