Patrick;
If it has a Lucas electronic ignition I would start there. Mine would do
the same thing before I switched to another brand of electronics. The "dead
time" would gradually increase in frequency and duration over time until it
was just dead all of the time.

Subject: Dead for a second
Drove the Spitfire today, went to pass someone , Motor goes dead just
for a second. A complete dead. no sputters or hestation or surging. Just
dead like the key was turned off. Then it was fine. Did it again, I
was sitting at a light. Turned green , Took off, Went dead just for a
second, then OK.
Any ideas where I can start looking?
THnx
