Check your fuel pressure. 28-32 psi. I usually try to get them set
around 30. 
Check the distributor advance, both the mechanical and vacuum. Check the
distributor breaker plate for any side play.
Check the rotor and plug wire resistance. The rotor should be about 3000
ohms, and the wires should be between 1000 and 1500 ohms.
