I have a 94' acura integra as a daily driver.
I recently replaced the distributor with a rebuilt one when it died on the
freeway.
(this is a whole distributor including ignitor and coil)
Just a few days ago it began to stumble when idling.
I found that #1 cylinder was misfiring intermittenly using a timing light.
All the other cylinders seem to be firing consistently.
I replaced the plugs(normal tan color) and wires and no change.  I replaced
the cap and no change.
I've check the timing and it hasn't changed. Now I'm thinking the new
distributor has gone bad.
I've searched online and many recommendations say it may be one of the many
sensors
in an EFI car that could cause stumbling and hesitation.
I don't think these sensors would only cause the ignition to misfire on only 1
cylinder.
I think the problem is within the distributor.
Thoughts?

Roadster content:
Found that the factory holes in the floor do not line up with those in the low
windshield roll bar.
The bar does not stand out as much on the car, but it is still 6" above my
head.  Now I'm thinking it  may block the biew out of the rear view mirror.
And the 3 rear ones on the shelf seem to be 1/4" YIKES!
Will have to drill out, chisel nuts and install backing plates
