You've probably answered your own question,replace the wires and plugs and then go from there.
If you can hear it from both cylinder banks thru the exhaust pipes there could a problem with the rotor arms and/or distributor caps.
The drivers side coil can break down although this gives a 4 cylinder misfire.

+1, check the obvious ignition system. Original wires...you can do a resistance check but more than likely, they are due for replacement. With all that coming off, just as easy to swap the plugs. Rotors and cap have good longevity but since you are doing those others, just as easy since you are already there.

Let us know.
