Hi c. Shaffer83,

We should go a step at a time. Get the distributor problem solved and see if the engine runs well.

For your model if there is any vacumn leaks, the idling rpm would surge so I don't think there is any problem with that since you mentioned it stalls after starting.

It should be more of the cold start or idling system problem. Clean the throttle body with carb cleaner and don't forget to remove the idle adjust screw and spary some cleaner into it as well.
