davey's right, and check the distributor cap for "tracking" as well. This will appear as a "picture of lightning" leading from one or more of the posts to a spot where the cap touches ground, like the distributor body. Sometimes it's dirt, and a thorough cleaning is all that's needed. This is especially true of the coil's plastic nose. Let us know how you make out.
