Read my mind 93, and thanks for the pointer. One good outcome of this process, is all electrical contacts, plugs, wires, etc. have been inspected, cleaned, repaired, and very soon to be Superlubed! The car idles better and seems to run smoother as a result. Somethings good things come from the duh moments (like I discovered the little plug that covers the wires going into the distributor was crumbling apart, a couple wires were starting to melt on the block, etc).
Thanks again for your time and assistance!
