Dont blame me if it's not the coil, but i reckon it will be.
I had a 1983 RRC V8 that had a trick LT wire from the distributor to the coil. Wiggle had it sorted.
Usually did it on hard cornering which was how I sussed it out as wiring.

Yay, Nige in right answer shocker!
Just answer "coil problem mate" to every question, by the rule of stopped clocks you'll be right more often than most ;-)
Naw the duff connection has been disturbed/cleaned/replaced. B-)
