Have a look at the ignition side of things, check the ignition leads and spark plugs.
Yes, you are right 4 cyl engines are very smooth these days, that can't be the source of your problem. Might still be a bad std. chip, I can't imagine there being any mechanical problem on such a young car that is serviced regularly. Puzzling situation indeed.

just to resurge this old post, i discovered here on my machine, a picture of our antique green 1968 notchback Barracuda

225 slant-6 'leaning tower of power', 3 on the tree. a booze cruiser, but a damn fun car to cruise for booze in

be warned, high-rez pic! if you have a slow compy, avert your browsin' eyes!

8bit: if you're still around, i've been meaning to post a picture of the second addition to our family

1963 Dodge Fargo 100 'Sweptline'
225 Slant-6, factory 391 rear end

...and that's all there is

A farm truck, to be sure, but let's just say we're screwed if we ever need non-engine parts for this thing. Interior restoration is the next step, after that might be an engine rebuild.

Speaking of which, pictures to follow when the Barracuda comes back with a shiny rebuilt 225 under the hood! Other than some minor trim pieces, she's a finished project
