That's why I suggested it might be a spark plug boot. If a coil were going bad, I'd think the problem would be more consistent. If the rubber on the boot were cracked, after a warm-up, it would expand and allow the spark to jump. Trouble is, I don't think you can get the boot on its own (though, in a thread somewhere, someone had found some spark plug wires with boots that would work if you use the ones from the distributor side). Or, perhaps some of our suby mechs from a dealership could find a hidden part number (like for the window clip) for the boots.
