high revs misfire

I just "rebuilt" my distributor [e.g., disassembled, cleaned incl. trigger points, cleaned and reset points and relubricated everything] . New correct non-resistor plugs, too. Engine starts, idles and generally runs great.
HOWEVER. It starts to breakdown @ 3,500 rpm and really won't go any higher.
SECOND HOWEVER. Its been so long since I tried to run the engine at high rpms I really can't say that it wasn't doing that before!
I'm thinking bad coil?
Other thoughts?
