Couple of ideas.....
Water in the gas (carb bowl)
loose low tension coil wire or rivet holding the wire terminal to the coil.

When it does it again, watch the tach, if it drops suddenly, it's 
electric. If it just dips with the RPMs, it's probably fuel.
Uh-oh, do 1500s have cable tachs? If so, the tach won't jump if it's 
electric.
