Klaus,
The smell your wife described indicates timing problems maybe? My friend described the same smell when following me, caused by way off timing, before I replaced my distributor.
How about this thought,... the springs in your distributor are worn out and when the timing is vacumn advanced, fail to retract the contact plate of the distributor back to its origional position? Simple test,.... Remove distributor cap and rotor, just under the rotor is the contact plate (it used to hold a set of points) suck on vacumn hose to distributor and watch contact plate advance, when vacumn is released, the plates should slide back to origional position. If this is the problem, your distributor needs a rebuild.

Hope it helps....just a guess.

Joel
