if you read the long posts he tested the dizzy(distributor) so he probably knows its dizzy related.
similar thing happend to my gf's car and it was the dizzy. i would hazard to guess that its the ignitor. ignitor much cheaper than replacing the entire dizzy. i would get an ignitor from the junkyard and test.
