Well, figured it out!
When I said I was getting spark, I was testing the spark plug wires with a timing light. It would be intermittent at first but I blamed that on the timing light because it's over twenty years old. So I figured the dizzy would be fine, but that's where the problem was. For some reason, the screw holding the rotor to the shaft was missing. I don't know how, but that can only mean that when I installed the rotor last June (2013) I didn't tighten it properly and it slowly worked itself out. So it went 4,000km until the screw fell out.
Now I'm assuming it was there to begin with because it went 4,000km just fine. When I opened the dizzy cap tonight I didn't find the screw at all. I didn't open it with the intention of catching anything that might fall so it could've slipped out rolled down my driveway somewhere. I'll take a look around tomorrow when it's light out.
