If you are sure it is an ignition problem the 2 most common problem areas are the connections on the ballast resistors and a bad-intermittant pick-up coil inside the distributer. Make sure the connections on the resistors are clean and tight and make sure the pick-up coil isn't open (it has a measurable resistance). If all this checks out the ECU MAY be bad. Only good test is to substitute a known good one. Before you do that make sure all the inputs (voltage sources and grounds) are there. Least likely but possible is a bad coil.
