Have the igniter unit inside the distributor. tested at an auto parts store. Also resistance test the coil while the distributor is open.

Could it be the volatility of the gas, you mentioned its starting to warm up and in the winter they use more volatile gas which can cause poor driveability when the weather becomes warm.
