Throwing parts at a problem doesn't always fix it. First of all by "shotgunning" you may not have replaced the BAD part. Secondly you have to put the parts in correctly and make certain adjustments, again correctly. I would guess an ignition problem. It may not be but it is the most likely place to start and you DO have to start somewhere. Check the mechanical AND vacuum advance. Maybe the ignition coil. Very unlikey this has anything to do with the transmission. BTW it is possible to damage new parts as they are installed. Particularly ignition wires. If they are pulled on the core inside can be broken and the wire is now garbage. Not visible externally but an ohmmeter can tell.
