mystery stall …long

88' turbo. My question is in regards to failure of ignition distributor. Can other problems with the
car cause repeated ignition distributor failure? Let me tell the story:
1. 1 yr ago, experienced ignition problems (stalling but starting) and replaced unit with rebuilt.
2. Car ran good even during load, but after a couple of months develop small internal oil leak.
3. One month ago, during suspension and brake work, I asked mechanic to try and solve the oil leak; he opened up distributor but didn't know what to do so put back together again.
4. Immediately after that car is bucking/stalling under load but restarts. Almost got stranded on freeway.
5. Have mechanic install used ignition distributor.
6. Under load car once more stalls and this time cannot restart; towing to mechanic reveals no fuel or spark. Install another used ignition distributor, car starts up right away.
7. With this "new" distributor the symptoms are back. Stalling/restarting at freeway speeds under load. This with the third ignition distributor.
Are they all bad distributors or is there something else that could possibly going on?
Thanks a bunch,
Per
