I have had my JH stall out more than once and it was always related to the distributor cap.
Remove the cap and use a BRIGHT light to check for tracking. If you find the black fern-like patterns on the inside of the cap you have a phasing issue, (the rotor is not pointed at the tower when it fires.)
Clean the contacts with a fresh pencil eraser and check the center carbon contact with a volt meter for continuity. Clean the rotor with 600 grit emery paper.
Start the car at night in a dark location and look for leakage in the high tension circuit. This is the easiest way to check your plug wires. My car was sending the spark to the ground strap on the cap!
Replace the spark plugs again. Use NGK BP6ES or Autolite 64's. Sometimes even new plugs are bad. Do not use Bosch plugs.
Just my 2c
