Ok! Problem found.
It was the distributor, more specifically, the pickup.
I think God was on my side though because when I pulled the dist to install the new one, it was extremely hard to turn. This I believe is because the gear to shoulder measurement was out.(to long) This is a new dist that I bought last year and have run it about 800 miles. The only reason I know it was off is because when I had to replace the iron gear with steel on the new MSD unit, it had the min/max measurements for the spacing. I assume, it was heating up the shaft and caused the pickup to fail. (much cheaper than a cam being destroyed!)

Thanks for all the help, I'm sure I'll need more in the future!
