Default 86 Monte Carlo is missing at idle and thru out drive range

I am beside myself here, and kinda need some input. I developed a miss a few years back, and didn't do anything about it. Just parked the car, and got a used beater to commute to and from work. Well, recently, I decided to fire up the old warhorse, and see what I could do to uhm, get her to run better. Replaced battery, fresh gas, and she fired. Cool! But, I still have that miss. So, I went down to advance auto, bought new wires, distributor cap, and rotor, and plugs. I put everything in the way it is suppose to be, and I still have that miss. So, that leaves what? Carburator? or something else? It is pretty much factory, so I still have all the electronic controlled stuff in it. ie, ecu, EM4C carb, and electric distributor.

No CE lights up in the car, but I know she is missing. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance. I am currently in Florida, and in 2 weeks, this car has to get me back to Wisconsin...so I need help with this.
