240 stalling 200 1984

My 240 has been doing some weird things the past week. The other day it fired right up and then when I turned on the headlights, the engine died. However, the light stayed on. Then I could crank on it as much as I wanted and it wouldn't fire(it would turn over). After I wiggled wires under the hood I gave it another try. It acted like it wasn't going to fire but after a few seconds it did. Then it ran great for a few day and now it is doing something else. When ever I turn left or right and start to go up a hill at about 3000 rph the motor suppters and sometimes dies. Then it fires right back up. Also, this morning I sitting at a stop light and the stereo started to fade in and out and then shut off and then back on(car remained on) and it is a fairly new stereo so I am certain it is related to the other. Any ideas of what is going on? I left the car running and went under the hood and wiggled wire to see if it would stall but it ran like a champ. Comments---Suggestions......... Thanks
