When you changed the distibutor did you have a scanner to reset the timing ?? Could be clogged injectors, Does it actually bog down or just feel like there is no power. It could also be a catalytic converter, But usually the SES light will come on because the O2 sensor will read goofy.

You could be right, but he said it has good power on 93 octane, but not on 87. You have always run 87 in your vehicle, maybe his was usually run on 93 and the switch causes it to loose power. I garuntee my truck would'nt run good on 87, becuase its never had nothing but 93 (120,000 miles now).
