Hi and thanks for the advice on my problem.  While I was driving back from 
work tonight my car was stumbling almost like it wasn't firing in one of the 
cylinders when all of a sudden I got this boost of power and my car started 
to run fine again.  The rest of the way home it ran fine.  So it seems to 
have fixed itself for now.  I checked the fuel filter and that is fine.  I 
also replaced the rotor and spark plugs earlier this year.  I think it is 
time to replace the cap, condenser, and points.  Any other ideas.  It really 
seems like a firing problem to me.  Oh, also it would only do this under 
load while driving.  When I reved it up with the clutch disengaged there was 
no skipping or hesitation that I could notice.

Thank you,

Matt Peterson
