it could be a terminal problem. no charge it making it through them.. or possibly the distributor. which is what went on my 86 nova just last week.

I would say it's probably the distributor. See if you can find one to swap in jsut to find out before dropping the money on a new one. You won't be able to return it once installed adn that's a waste of big money if it turns out to be somethign else. Good luck
