OK, you do not have a vacuum advance distributor. It is computer controlled. So no counterweights or springs. You can get new vac hoses at any auto parts store. As far as your issue, I do not have the experience with the computer controlled carb and distributor to give you much help.
Looking at the distributor, it doesn't look like it has weights(and springs) that move. I thought the same thing...computer controlled distributor.
I guess '82 would fall into the computer controlled carb and distributor use.

You could convert to an earlier year HEI distributor and pre-CCC carb. I would first try to get your current combination running properly and then go to plan B.
Replacing some of those old and dried out vacuum hoses would be a step in the right direction.

Thank you all for the help so far. I will replace those rotted vacuum lines and re-assemble the cap and rotor. Since the distributor is computer controlled and not mechanical, I assume it is unlikely to be the problem? If the vacuum lines being replaced does not solve the problem, what should I do next? I was thinking my next plan of attack would be to replace the fuel filter, check plug condition, and then remove the catalytic converter?
Edit: converting the car to non-computer controlled carb and distributor sounds like a good summer project, but to get me through the cold weather I'd like to get the original components operating well for now.
