Question How can you tell if your DISTRIBUTER is going bad?

Hey guy's,
I have a question,
My car is missing on a cylinder but this only happens when the distributer is making a grinding type sound like a bad bearing or something.. and while it makes this sound the cars seems to stumble a bit and runn rough like it's got a bad plug/ wire or shat have you.. and the motor is smooth but the Distributer is rough to place your habd on it feels rough.. and once and a while it will stop the grinding sound and the motor seem to pick up the cylindr again, and runn GREAT! but as soon as that sound of roughness comes back from the Distibuter it startrs to stumble again..
Would the distributer going bacd be the cause of this?
Is there any way to check as they are NOT cheap!!

Thansk,
I have a 78SC Tub w/ a 83 SC motor.....if this helps.. Thanks in advance!
