Ed,
I agree with Peter.
In addition to the coil, take a look at that little wire inside the
distributor that goes from the coil to the points.
Mine failed on the 3 a few years back. When under load the advance kicks in
and was stretching the wire out of its connector.
Replaced the wire and no more cut out under load.
