New plugs, wires, button, dist cap, entire distributor was replaced, no change.
Drove from NE OK to SE MI on Tuesday. Sputtered like hell OR occasionally until Ohio. From there on, didn't miss once. Next day, sputtering randomly, idleing rough (occasionally), then running perfect. I'm pulling what remains of my hair out. Please help if you can! Thank you!

This can be a cople of things it's a misfire on cyl 3 first. It can be an injector that is clogged/dirty, you could run some pro type cleaner through it to try to fix it. But normally only mechanics handle that because it's a whole kit they can get. Or they could use their scanner to manually fire the injector and run the injector wide open to clean it out. But it could be something else as well like low compression etc.
