    I would replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil inside the distributor. Apply silicone heat transfer grease to the back of the new ICM. The distributor housing is likely fine, if you don't find orange dust inside or oil. The bearings in them go around 95,000 miles--it will sound like a thrashing machine.
