From the description, the most suspect components are often not original. So
I must ask... what kind of 79 MGB do you have? Stromberg, SU, or Weber?
Allison, Pirrana, Lumnition, or points? 23D, 25D, 45D, or Mallory distributor?
etc. etc.
Now for the first from-the-hip guess. Check the wiring from the distributor
body to the trigger unit (points, whatever) for breaks or fraying. Moving
the throttle changes the vacuum, which moves the vacuum advance, which flexs
these wires
