Have you checked your fuel pressure at the fuel rail? The problem could be a clogged fuel filter, pinched fuel line, or under-performing fuel pump (either faulty part, or not receiving enough voltage).
The only other thing I can think of that would cause the loss of power symptom and failing e-test would be a plugged catalytic converter, but that wouldn't likely cause the lean running.
More than likely it is a vaccuum leak. Get a small torch propane bottle. You want a tip on it so you can waft the propane but Do Not Ignite It. Go around the intake manifold, and vaccume lines around the engine. If it revs up you have found you leak.
A Vehicle This Old Must have Very High Millage, And it is Possible that there is NORMAL wear that has taken place that Unfortunatly ONLY a NEW or Newer Engine Will solve this Problem. IF ALL OTHER OPTIONS IN REPAIR HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED--Such as Major tune up Valve adjustment - Emision system inspected and CLEARED of Defects , The Only FIX is A New Engine. As Part of my Job for some 25 + years I Have had to be the Bearer of BAD NEWS such as this, Good Luck 1981 toy Cor Millage is????
Did you fix this yet? Are you getting fuel to the plugs? Try starting the car, then remove one of the plugs. Check for the smell of fresh gasoline. You could also try smelling the exhaust to see if there is a fresh unburt gasoline smell. If your getting fuel, then the fuel system is probably not the problem. Are you getting spark to the plugs? After you replaced the Distributor, did you adjust the timing?
