ok, here's the thing...
I had engine overhauled for worn rings 6,000 miles ago but had been burning oil real bad before that & smoking due to that. Catalytic could be likely, right? from smoking long-term that could've clogged catalytic couldn't it? I've on very few occasions smelled rotten egg sulpur type smell I'm told is common from bad/clogged catalytic converter.
Also if it was distributor how hard is that to check? it's been a long time since I had the distributor changed.

Your problem does sound like some sort of electrical issue. Have you checked the throttle position sensor yet? It can cause odd issues like that. Look for 0.45ohm-4.5+ohm from closed to open with no spikes or opens between.
