I vote for the ignition system being the culprit.
I had similar symptoms from two unrelated ignition system problems: once,
from a too-long mounting screw (points or condenser?) interfering with the
advance mechanism, and again from a partially-melted insulator on the
low-tension lead inside the distributor. Everything looked fine on initial
visual inspection both times.
