Andrew,

I agree with Dave, you are looking at the wrong side of the engine... 
Your symptoms sound to me like the coil is breaking down when it gets 
hot under load.

Or, if you are running an electronic ignition system, the old adage of 
"they work fine until they die" doesn't hold up in my book anymore. 
Swapping out the electronic ignition for a points and condenser setup 
has fixed issues multiple times in multiple cars for me over the past 
couple years!

Henry - certainly not the wise man Dave was referring to!
