Default Inconsistant Misfire???

My car has started missing, but its not a consistant rythm (if that makes any sense). I know its not cam lope because it has just been doing it the last 2 or 3 days. I think it could be the plug wires, since they are pretty old...Does that sound plausible?

Advance Auto and Napa. Both said they would have to order them. If they have to be ordered, I would prefer to do it myself. There is an Autozone a town over, so I may do that tonight. What MM wire would they be?

Don't rule out the coil pack, I just put one on my 95 not too long ago. I thought I had a coil pack issue at the time, it wasn't the issue, so I put the original one back on. Two weeks later, ended up needing the coil pack anyway. GL
