ignition problems

Does anyone know how to tell if my distributor is dieing? On the way back from denver I still had no acceleration and the engine sputterd all the way home.

That day never comes; luckily, the episodes just get fewer and farther between - but usually more severe.

(I'm on my 2nd replacement trans- replaced the 2nd one myself, and I'm on my 2nd replacement fuel pump- replaced both myself!)
