I had a similar problem that turned out to be the tiny wire going from the points to the distributor connector- only about an inch long wire and points looked great, but when I put an ohm meter on it and wiggled the wire, the meter numbers went crazy.
Permatune ignition boxes are famous for having intermittent issues, but they seem to do it from heat and run fine after cooling off.

Thanks! So I found it in the frunk, and pulled it out and plugged it back in. Is there a way to test it?
I agree, this seems electrical and not fuel related, given how abrupt it is and how intermittent.
I pulled the cap/rotor off this morning, they looked okay, I scuffed them up to make them a bit brighter and reinstalled. I have not done the plugs or wires though. I'm not sure I have points; I have a 77. From the 101 projects book, it says they only had points up until 1976. How would I check?
I have a stock CDI box, no permatune. Is there a way to test the CDI box to see if it is causing the problem?
