If it has an igniter (magnetic wave amplifier) in the distributor that would be suspect but it might be better to get a rebuilt distributor. Let's throw a couple hundred at that? Not if you can test it!!!!!!
Wrap a wire around your coil wire and your radio antenna. Might even have a piece laying around. Tune the radio to am and you will get terrible static. If the static changes when the car malfuntions then it's safe to ASS-UME it's the distributor. I would get one with a lifetime guarantee if aftermarket and not OE man, but prefer the greatly lower failure rate of OE when it really counts.
Now the problem becomes whether the car is worth the repair? That really sucks when the repair does not fix the problem.
The whole distributor thing is a GUESS!!!!
