Hey Marshal, Check the wiring to the distributor. There are three wires to the hall effect sensor. I had problems in wet weather with my van bucking. It slowly got worse. It would do it when the weather was dry. Eventually my van quit altogether. I traced the problem to the hall sensor. It was cracked around where it enters the distributor housing. I had to replace the whole distributor because no one had just the sensor.
