Misfiring could be bad seals, bad wires, plugs, bad distributor cap and rotor, distributor itself. If its only 2/4 cylinders I would lean more towards seals or plugs and not distributor, but I've learned not to assume.

I see you said you just replaced them, but you could have got bad plugs or wires. As for the seals, Are you leaking oil into the Plug wall |

If you're getting sludge in the pcv make sure you don't have any leaks in the vacuum line and do a seafoam flush.

random misfire, misfire 1, misfire 3.
get a cheap DVOM and hook it to the OX and E1 terminals in the test port, report what kind of voltage you're seeing. -------------------- |
