Coud be harness degradation. Had this issue in an em1 chassis. ECU was losing sync with distributor. If OEM harness check for wear. If aftermarket, hopefully they individually shielded the crank and cam sensor wiring.

Could also be plugs not high enough heat range. Or improper gap.

You replaced the dizzy, including the ignitor inside? If its old, do the resistance check on it to verify its not going weak.

First thing I would check is proper spark plug gap
