When you say you rebuilt your dist. what exactly did you do? Do you have a Check engine light?

Oh and your post is a little hard to read..

Sounds like you need to take it to a mechanic.

check if your MAP sensor is hooked up or block off.
check the vacuum to it and the connector/wires

Soulds like an intermitant misfire. Check the cap for any obvious burns or arc marks. If so, then replace.

I'm 95% sure it's your distributors.
The symptoms sound the exact same as when my dizzy went bad.
I know they are expensive, but just suck it up, go to Autozone, or Advance or something and buy a dizzy. At least then it will have a lifetime warranty.

Warranty is a good thing man, especially on dizzys and axles.
