Check for vaccum leaks where the intake meets the head and the base of the carb. Spray carb cleaner or w-D40 around those areas while the engine is running, if there is a leak there you will hear the engine rpm change. Also check the dist shaft for wear and play, check this with a dwell meter or manualy wiggle the shaft rotor is attached to, should be no play side to side.

IF IT'S A POINTS TYPE DISTRIBUTOR, CHECK & MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE POINTS SEATED PROPERLY. DID THIS PROBLEM JUST START AFTER YOUR TUNEUP?? WHEN YOU HEAR HOOFBEATS.... DON'T LOOK AROUND EXPECTING ZEBRAS
