I would do exactly what you are planning Eddie. I would change out the distributor, adjust the carb and check out the vacuum leaks. If all this doesn't fix it then I think Tom is right you have a valve problem. Just went through this with my Explorer.

Eddie - sounds to me like a valve train problem - broken vavle spring perhaps.

I appreciate the replies and here is the car on www.youtube.com so anyone can hear the
symptoms, has a miss, and 'klock' sound thru carb. I just drove it slowly to go put new
high tech gas in it, and also checked all the screws on the carb also, and checked the vac
lines:

One of the symptoms of a lean mixture is backfiring through the carb. Check to
see that the carb hold down nuts are secure and check for elsewhere for an
intake vacuum leak, vacuum hoses, etc.

Eddlie - Don't overlook bad gas, or gas with water in it, if she got fuel somewhere. It
will create the same condition. If everything checks out otherwise, try a can of de-icer
in the fuel to dry up the water -
