This sounds like a classic ignition module which they had big problems with. Here is the location so you can change it out to see what happens. If you did the ignition module with the distributor please test the EEC relay here is a guide to help with the location in the diagrams below:
Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Replaced both relays and the TFI on this distributor doesn't have the three contacts at the rear and was replaced with new distributor.

I have seen a fuel injector short out and cause this. Can you disconnect all fuel injectors to see if the spark returns? Also disconnect all oxygen sensors as well. Let me know.
