I just got it back from a repair shop. They are thinking it is either a bad distributor or a bad carburator. The choke wasn't working correctly so they worked on it and got it to work. The other thing when the car is idling the engine has a little bit of a miss.

Is there any way to check the distributor to see if it is damaged before I go replacing it. I don't want to spend to much more on the car because it is only a work vehicle.
