With all the coil changes there is a chance that a chance that a replacement got connected incorrectly. For a positive battery grounded car the positive terminal of the coil goes to the distributor. Easy to check and correct. A coil connected incorrectly will not provide a hot spark and will cause hard starting and poor running performance. Let us know what you find.

JW, you were right on the money with that. I finally got a few moments to check the coil wiring as per JW's post and sure enough; it was reversed. I only had a few moments but I've corrected the wiring hook up and put the charger on the battery. We'll see what happens tomorrow (hopefully).

Thanks JW, Howard, ALM and all you others that have helped with this.
