Its weird, it sounds ignition related, and you have a Pertronix.
That would certainly be enough for me!
On top of that, you've already replaced the coil and rotor.

Assuming you kept the old parts, it only takes a couple of minutes to =
swap out the Pertronix. I'll bet it at least changes the symptoms to =
something that makes more sense!

Also, check the resistance of each plug wire and the coil high tension =
lead, from the terminal inside the distributor cap to the end of the =
wire.=20

Take the point plate ground lead loose from the distributor body, and =
check its resistance to the point plate, while moving and tugging gently =
on the wire. It rarely fails, but they can go intermittent without being =
visibly bad. And yes, the Pertronix module relies on a good ground =
through the point plate and that wire.
