Great, I'll keep all these points in mind next time it happens and will record a small video of it. Since I opened up and swapped the distributor cap I have not had the issue again. Do you think my corroded battery terminals would cause such a symptom?
I can bend wires and check for continuity, I ordered a bosch set on rockauto, they were on discount. I will keep the old set as spare.
I put brand new terminals on battery, sanded off battery terminals, cleaned end of both wires with Permatex battery cleaner before installing new terminals, made sure I installed them tight but not over tight to the point where I would brake the terminals, I also got $1 felt washers in Autozone to sit under the terminals.
It's been two days (approximately 50 miles of driving) since I had the no starting problem and it's been around 4 days since the bog/misfire issue. Let's see what happens.
