Sounds exactly like what mine was doing. It was the PIP in the distributor. I Swapped in a parts store dist and the random dying out went away.

Put a new distributor in tonight. Let it ideal for 20 min, kept running. Good sign. Drove it around and it didn't kill. I believe it is fixed. It had a different stumble 2 times under steady load condition. Just a quick miss. But it kept running so I think the new distributor fixed that problem.
