You may have one of the problems mentioned in the other posts. However, does your car run badly because of this problem ? If not, you may want to live with it. And, as for going to an electronic ignition, I'd stick with the old system. The less electronic " black box" components you have, the easier , and least expensive it is to find and repair a problem. The only electronic engine component my 1979 Olds 88 has is the electronic distributor module. And, the only time my car has left me stranded is when that module burned out.
