I vote for something electrical. While I am no diagnostic mechanic, I've heard this over and over too. There is a certain 40-120 conv.sedan owner who has fought this for a couple years, both on this forum and the PAC forum. Honestly I have lost track of where he is with it now...not sure if he gave up and set the car on fire or not.
Anyway, I vote for bypassing "hotwiring" past the ignition switch including the shielded cable, trying a different coil, coil wire and checking everything in the distributor as has been mentioned. Something as simple as the spring that is supposed to hold the carbon to the rotor may be weak. I'm not saying that is the problem, just that it must be something "simple", yet overlooked, 'cause the car otherwise runs fine, no bucking, backfiring, roughness, richness, etc...

If you need anything, lemme know.
