Well, I got mine fixed.
The 76 was missing at speed or heavy throttle. The issue was that the centrifugal timing adjustment in the distributor was seized.
It would start fine and run fine until warmed up. Then if driving I would give it a full throttle push, it would miss/backfire.
Idle timing was perfect, so I had the distributor replaced and the power is back! It slowly went bad, and I had not realized how much power was gone. 200.00 bucks and it was worth it. BTW I got close to 9MPG to GA towing the Saturn.
