Does the Check Engine Light comes on for 2 seconds and then go out, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II)?

That means the problem is likely with the distributor. Usually, replacing the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil solves the problem. Apply silicone heat transfer grease to the back of the new ICM.

Yes. It may be firing but not at the right time. The ICM is a giant electrical switch which controls current to the coil. It needs to precisely open and close (dwell), when the ECM directs, or the timing will be off.
