Good luck tracking it down.  Intermittent ignition problems can be quite 
frustrating.  I remember finding and fixing a problem when I was working 
at Bailey's, and it was quite by accident.  It was one of Dr. Hoopes 
cars, a Healey.  Ran fine 98% of the time, would sometimes sputter, 
miss, and stall out.  I was fussing with it, had it idling smoothly, and 
while fussing with the carbs the screwdriver in one of my hands touched 
the wire between the coil and distributor.  Instant stumble.  Yep, car 
ran fine, wiggle that wire and it would quit.  Fix was easy, just put 
together a new wire with good connectors on each end and no more problem.
