Do yourself a huge favor and buy a tube of dielectric compound. Use it on each terminal on the distributor and at the coil and spark plugs. Also evey electrical connection that you can separate do so, carefully clean any corrosion you find, put some of the dielectric compound in the connection and connect it back together. I did it and no more problems.
