At first, my thought was timing gear... but in reading further to find that it got home, and that it idles OK... no. Not that.

I'm with spectratone on this one. Check your points. I bet they closed up.

Or, your distributor could have gone south. Check for wobble in the shaft... sounds similar to a problem I've not thought of in a long, long time. Totally worn out distributor that would wobble about, opening and closing the points at will...

Just pull the cap, wobble the rotor, and check to make sure the points open when they should. I think it'll be obvious.
