GSLSE. Electrical - ignition issues

My GSLSE is having some issues . While i drive after i hit 3 k rpm the needle drops , the radios cut off for a couple seconds and car loose power. I replace sparks plugs , spark plugs wires , cap and rotors , i tried different J 109 igniter on both trailing and leading and i replaced the coils. Only happens when the car is warm.

Sounds like a grounding issue? Check the battery terminals and the starter for solid connections. Maybe disconnect and clean everything and see if that helps.

Test the Alternator and Battery by taking it to an auto repair shop. They can load test both (sometimes while still in the car), and poor electrical current can result in RPM-specific drop-outs. Aside from those most obvious things, you'd have to dig deeper. Get those 2 sorted out and then go from there,
