Aha! I'd def. start with the distributor, then.

I had a heck of a time trying to get rid of a stumble years ago with a 
similar setup to you and eventually just flat out replaced the distributor 
and the problem was GONE.

This should be easy to do without dropping a lot of cash, especially if 
you have acess to another distributor as you should be able to drop in 
another dizzy and see if it works better (or not).

Along those lines, there's a great Car Craft article on how to chose the 
right spark plug for your car and if you read the whole article and look 
at the pix, it shows how to read them...


But I'd be looking at your dizzy first.
