i just had a similar issue. check your voltages on your distributor clips, if your getting the proper volts then its your distributor. with mine i thought it was the distributor but when i checked the voltages on the 3 pin disty clip neither ground was grounding but i was getting power where i should. changed the clip and voila. maybe one of ur grounds in the clip is loose like mine was. if not then check spark with a screwdriver off the cap itself if there is none then its more than likely your distributor. can you smell fuel? when you turn it over
