Had a friend with a similar problem a few years ago, it turned out to be old gas. It had only been in there a year but it was 10% ethanol, nuff said.
Aside from that I would be suspect too, the centrifugal advance in the distributor, the vacuum advance zeros out at full throttle so it wouldnt be that IMHO
