Over the years I've had this hhappen several times when the points rub block had worn down. As others have mentioned, check the gap and reset or change them as reqd. It's always cured it for me.

Also check the round black plugs under the dash on the bulkhead. These can loosen up.

Who did the recent tuneup? Did they change or set the points?

Do you have a Permatune CD box? There have been reports on this BB about these failing when temps go up.
