A few days later, cold starts in the morning, they discovered it needed a new distributor. They installed and I've never had a problem since. It has started reliably ever since and is my kid's daily driver now.

What Jeff said...
The magnetic pickup gets cracks and on cold, wet mornings those cracks get condensation. Water won't conduct the spark.
No start. Plus after 100k they are wore out. Go Delco if you can.
TBI hate anything but Delco parts.
Look it over CLOSE first before you go for new.
Do all trouble shooting you can do.
Look at the coil first and work your way out from there.
