Sounds like a distributor problem. I had the same problem on my '85 chev 4x4. Thing is, I went thru 5 new distributors before I finally tried the distributor from a late 60's chevy pickup. It worked like a charm. Something about a little slack in a new distributor's armature. Go figure. Check the salvage yards and give it a shot.
