The issue with hard starting in that age car, is likely high voltage
related. Bad spark-plug wires and possibly cracked coil housings.
As an experiment, at night, use a spray mister under the hood. Sometimes
you can pinpoint the area that is bad by making an idling car
miss/stumble by spraying water around the plug wires. Occasionally, you
can SEE sparks/arcing at night!
