Check for wiring being weakened by flexing (hanging on by a thread) around the Distributor, and ignitor.

Plug in your Spare Ignitor and see if its your ignitor. I have a Spare N.A. ignitor for 85 to 87's. Or you can pick one up off Ebay for very little money.

Plug in your spare ECU and see if the ECU is the problem. Again I have a spare for N.A.'s.

Yes, Timing lights are way Old School. Now you just plug your car into a $100K plus engine analyzer and get the timing that way. Isn't progress wonderful?

With cars and their associated electronics being as old as they are, keeping a stock of spare critical parts is a good idea.
