I know I sound redundent and probably stupid, but spend a couple bucks on
some new plug wires and try em out.  If you don't know when the last time
they were changed, it maintenance anyway.  I was getting an intemittent loss
and surging before I replaced mine.  Also take the cap off your distributor
and peek inside with a flashlight and make sure the wires on the hall sender
are good. Good luck.
