I would check the ignition switch (where the key is inserted
or it may have a switch behind that part depending on how old
it is). It sounds like the whole system is randomly loosing
power once in a blue moon. It may have gotten worse and now it
is acting up.

Have you tried jiggling the key?

Thanks for the comments guys. Turns out I had a compound problem:

Both the ignition coil and hall sender were bad. Got a used coil from
the scrap yard and changed the hall sender in my distributor (Bosch,
$75).

All’s well that ends well...
