No power on hills - help desperately needed

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys!  I'm going to do some more
checking tomorrow (in the light) and see what I can find out.  I just
checked to see if I could see an arcing from the distributor cap in the
dark and couldn't see anything.  

I don't think my acceleration is quite as good as it had previously
been, but then again I'm super-paranoid about everything with the car
right now.  After going up a steep hill, I also have to be on a
flat/downhill for a good 1/4 mile or so before it wants to "get back to
normal" and accelerate properly.  I live in a rural area so it's hard to
ever get the car too fast(never gone faster than 90), but I tried to get
the RPMs up today after the trouble on the mountain just to see if it
would work.  It went up to about 70-75 and the RPMs never went much
higher than 3,000-3,200.  

Thanks again, SO MUCH, for the suggestions.  I'll keep everyone updated
as I trouble shoot this!

Tony
