Default 83 Telstar engine dies for no reason

Lately our car just dies or no reason. It seemingly happens at random.
The car will run for a while, then suddenly just stop without warning.
It appears that it just stops putting out spark from the distributor, but we can't figure out why. When it's done its dead thing, and we check the spark plug cables, no spark is generated... then after a while, suddenly it starts sparking again. Battery is new and charges OK.

We've tried replacing several parts to rectify the problem but the problem persists.
It has a new ignition coil.
The distributor cap is new.
All the spark plug cables are newly replaced too.

We are booking it into a garage again for their opinion on Monday.

Any ideas?
