It could be a bad wire that was strectched or maybe they are just old. It could also be a bad, worn, old, or cracked distributer cap and/or rotor. My suggestion is, if the parts are old, to just replace the cap, rotor, spark plugs, and ignition wires. I would also check the timing and make sure the mechanical and vacuum advance is working.
