Look at the distributor. If its a TFI, then it could be the pip sensor. Mine cut off at random times and I changed the whole distributor and have not had a problem since. That's about 10,000 miles ago. Someone advised me that the Duraspark system is simpler and better. You may want to do that. There would be wire changes with that swap. Good luck.
