83 245 missing under load 200

Thanks for all the help in the past. Now I have got a new problem. I have an 1983 245 with chrysler ignition. It loses power going uphill or trying to accelerate. It is like the lifted and depressed with out me doing anything. Example, going up a hill the car will suddenly lose power and momentum,then after a few seconds is starts to gain power again. It sounds like it is struggling to get power even though I have not let up on the gas pedal. If I down shift, it helps but still struggle for power. Seems worse when the car it warmed up or been driven for awhile. Very frustrating! I have owned a year. The car is an automatic, N/A, with 177,000 miles. I have replaced the plugs, wires(magnecore), cap, rotor, fuel filter, air filter, flame trap. Also replaced amm with used one( this help for awhile), cleaned and adjusted throttle body, replaced all fuses at the inside compartment with new and cleaned & greased holders, check seals at injector(good), listened at fuel door for sound of fuel pump(hear it). Last note, after the loss of power, if I left it idle it will idle roughly. Sorry for the long post. hope you all can help.
