Joe,
   
  With it missing in a specific rpm... there are TWO wires to look at.
   
  First is the wire from the "-" coil connection to the 1/4 spade on the
  side of the distributor.  I always carried a spare ready to bypass the
  harness. Rare failure, but sometimes the wire will break under the 
  insulation leaving an intermittent connection. Simple to replace.
   
  Second is the wire INSIDE the distributor. Cloth covered, originally
  white, but connects the ignition points to the connector on the side
  of the distributor.  I'm pretty sure long since NLA, but only trick is
  to make a new wire that is very flexible as the breaker plate moves
  back and forth. 
   
  Tom
