Hey Luke,
Do Rob's check first. I gave you 7 to 1 odds that it was ignition, but 
his 40 to 1 would even have me doing his simple check. Still think it's 
ignition tho.
Let us know what you're doing. Did you check the connections of the plug 
wires into the distributor cap to see if they match the firing order?
