It probablly needs a distributor cap. I had one that was crossfiring in the distrubutor cap and kicking back hard against the starter.
It could also be that it needs new spark plugs. Pull one and check the gap. Spec is .060". If its severely worn to say .090" or more it may be causing your problem.
