Sounds like you are due for some new ignition wires, cap and rotor. Also take
apart all the connectors around the distributor, clean and coat with a silicone
dielectric grease. Take a good look at the ignition coil for any signs of
tracking from where the coil wire attaches, if you do it may require a new coil
if there is even a tiny crack under the tracking mark.

It sounds like the blades are lifting from the wind. I have not had the problem
with my Dakota but it is a constant source of annoyance on my Daytona. I would
try a set of the aero wiper arms from Anco or Trico. That help alot on my
Daytona but I still need to replace the wiper blades about every 3 months.
