Once again, I see a prime example of the most expensive way to fix a problem - the shotgun approach.
Start here... Diagnosis is your friend. Take off the distributor cap and check the shaft for side to side play. Bad bushings in the distributor are a common cause of the problem you describe. Note that I said CHECK, not REPLACE. Next, check the fuel system for sufficient fuel flow. Another common cause of this problem is something in the tank floating around and randomly covering the fuel outlet thus restricting fuel flow and causing a lack of power. Junk in the carburetor bowl can also be a problem. Check for any vacuum leaks. If there is a vacuum advance on the distributor, check it for a ruptured diaphragm.
These engines are simply NOT all that complicated. Simple tools like a dwell meter, a timing light, and a voltmeter will help greatly. A manual will also help.
