No, it's not the stock ignition, it's MSD.

MSD Box and Ignitor Coil..

They could be bad, but there not really that old.. They were already replaced once before.

what kind of distributor you using?? factory duraspark one??? if so it may be the pick up/stator then

Ah, it's factory..

Think I should throw a MSD in ?

I never had the best results using the factory distributor with msd ...plus if you have a matching distributor to ignition box it'll be more effective expecially when it comes time to tune the advance curve= alot easier on a msd dizzy

One of the weird things about the problem is it only likes to do it when the car gets warmed up, and at low rpm's..

Thats when it likes to do it the most, but it will do it at high rpm's to.

I checked under the dissy cap, and it seems to be all rusted out, and dirty.

Also all the metal pieces have black marks on them.

And also to find out, one of my spark plug wires are broken.. So, I'm going to grab some new spark plugs and wires and see if that fixes the problem at all, if not, new dissy it is.

And wiring harness to re-wire the car, it's a real mess.
