my rule of thumb now is to replace wires cap and rotor at 30K intervals. have a look at the air filter too if you haven't done that lately.
be sure your PCV system is in good shape as that could contribute to the bad seal (i assume that was the distributor seal)
the ignition switch shouldn't kill the engine unless you twist it a far ways towards the OFF position, and there is resistance. "wiggling" shouldn't do it. that could well be your problem. do you still have power to the other ignition-dependent stuff when it stalls (dash, headlights etc)
"If you are handy with a testlite, hook it up to fuse 17,18 or 19 and check if the testlite goes dim at the same time.
"Those three fuses are fed from the bad part of ignition switch." (thanks Anders!)
