It could be the ign module on the dist.

I would check the new ignition box before anything, make sure everything is plugged in, check for a loose ground on it etc.

Of those 4 options, I'd vote for the TFI module. Coils usually don't go out, Distributors almost never break, and the hall-effect sensor in the distributor is pretty reliable.

The TFI modules go out semi regularly though.

If you look up the car on Autozone's website, it'll give you a diagram on how to test the TFI module with an ohmmeter.
