Ignition gremlin where to start looking

72 Pantera here, running MSD 6 ignition box, MSD Blaser coil, MSD 8350 Pro-Billet Distributor, and MSD tach trigger part #8910.

All was working well...the car runs fine, no misses, idles fine, and runs on freeway at 3000+ fine no prob... BUT while on surface streets under acceleration, usually less than 3000 rpm and less than 40mph the engine for some reason will shut off. Big problem. It doesn't do it all the time. Very intermittent. I pull over and the car will start right up. However, now it seems to happening more often, in fact it did shut off at a stop sign, just idling.

Where do I start looking? Will check all the connections, but as I said, it runs fine, then suddenly it will shut off.

Ideas? Thanks.

BTW the MSD is attached to the lower firewall in engine compartment on passenger side.
