Hey Wilbur,
Hm, long distance diag of your stated symptoms..is crap shoot, but I'll start it off by saying that what you describe could be the results of a failing condensor. However....same symptoms could result from fuel starvation (i.e.-dirt in fuel line/carb float not right). You say you did dist work...'and it acted as in the past'. Well, that's evidence, IMO, that mabe something other than dist is THE problem. Like said, hard to diag from distance, but have you checked for loose/bare wiring/grounds; do you have original ign cable ...is it screwed into dist..just a tad TOO far (that will do it also) Is your dist grounded GOOD to engine or sitting on thick paint? Some place to start,eh. Let us know the fix, when you locat it.
