I just put in Bosch double plat. plugs and the wires dont even have a year of wear on them as well as the fuel filter. I beleive it has something 2 do with the distributor guts. While its running you can hear a slight ticking coming from the distributor area like there is an arc, im not sure what this is because i havent taken the time 2 remove the dist. cap yet. Was wondering if any of you guys have had the same problem or know of what might b causing this, also i replaced the pickup coil and distributor cap as well as the rotor and neither have over a year on them. any help is appreciated. thanks.

Check for vacuum leaks, also do a compression check. If it was ignition related, it wouldn't be happening at one point and at no other.
