Same result: the timing light showed intermittent flashes, not the consistent ones generated by smooth idling. I checked the timing light by checking all the other plug wires: all tested fine with consistent, steady flashes. My question is: is this a problem with the distributor? If so, what recommendations to repair and how? Stephen in Raleigh, NC.

Sounds like the problem might be in the distributer cap, ck . for continuity from number one on the cap to the plug wire.
You should definitely tie down the coil.
