Well,... a lot of us do something called 'zero-miling' our new bricks. Depending on the age of the car this can include a zillion things like brakes, shocks, radiaotr, timing belt, trans fluid, cap, rotor, plugs, wires......the list goes on. Basically it gets the car to a point where you know when and at what mileage all wear parts / regular maint items were addressed. So with that said, it wouldnt hurt to throw new spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor on the beast. You could have a cracked cap allowing moisture to accumulate in there. First things first though, check and re-solder as necesary the fuel pump relay, but you said the pumps run, but do it anyway, trust me. and also check and clean the 25A fuse on the main + line to the battery. You can isolate the distributor by check for spark directly out of the coil. Good luck and post back with results.

Matt
