Start by changing the plugs, which may have rusted from the water in the fuel. Change the wires/cap/rotor, & adjust the valves & timing. Check the vacuum lines for cracks.

do what that guy said. also a compression test would should be in order. losing power on a hill is a good indication of a tired engine thats in need of a top end rebuild
look for about 110-150psi per cylinder. a difference of more than 10psi is a sign of a weak cylinder for a bug
