yeah man, i would say change your fuel filter, change that strator coil out and seal it with a little black rtv this time around the rubber, check all your plugs and wires and conciter getting a new cap and rotor. That should solve alot of your issues.

id say 9/10 its the pick up coil which is in the distrubutor. happend to me while racing a honda in my 93 GT and he ended up gettin me top end cause it was cuttin out. After that i completely understand what u mean by "breaking up".

] Put in another set, ran good for a week samething. Then another set of some superduty champions, melted those too. Finally I was able to get some non-resistor autolites that were 13 heat ranges colder, and she ran great ever since

Sometimes its that. My car did that once a while ago, I too thought it was the pickup coil. Changed it, problem didnt go away. Changed the armature, no change, changed cap, rotor, wires little better but still missed. And since I had JUST put in new plugs I didnt check em. I was all ready to tear the motor down, when I did decide to check the plugs, 5 out of th 8 had melted away the electrodes completely. I mean every thing, the little bent arm thing, the center electrode with the ceramic, all gone.[] Put in another set, ran good for a week samething.
