I concur: it could be any number of things.

That sounds like what happened to me when my DME/Fuel pump relay went out. When I took the cover off of it the coil had a copper-green corrosion stain on part of it so I assume the coil was not producing full magnetic strength 100% of the time hence the intermittent running and dying.

On a different car (1962 356B) I have had "carbon tracks" (Google it & read and check Google images) on the inside of a distributor cap that took me a while to find; also one can get carbon tracks on the coil tower or the center coil lead on the distributor cap which can cause the car to die since the coil wire affects all cylinders. Otherwise carbon tracks can cause just one cylinder to misfire if the track is on just that cylinder's tower (internally or externally on the distributor cap). Keep these things clean and dry to help prevent carbon tracking.

How old is the fuel filter? When they get dirty they can cause fuel pressure at the fuel rail to get erratic especially upon acceleration and hill climbing (when you want more power/fuel = high fuel flow) the pressure drops enough that the engine dies but will restart and idle (low fuel flow rate).

Good luck.
