That may not be the source of your missfire. I had a similiar problem last spring. Mine went so far as to have the outer ring of the keeper break off, and another spring crack (installation problem-long story).
The car did not miss or run bad in any way. It did sound like I had a very bad lifter or broken rocker.

I know with the old V8's if you rev them up to high RPM's when they are cold you will snap the spring.
