Stalls Over Bumps

I have a 71 Duster with the original 225 ci slant six. At times when I hit bumps/potholes too hard the engine stalls, but starts right back up. Any ideas?

Sounds like an electrical issue from here. Loose connection perhaps in the ignition wires, coil to dizzy etc.

Sound like not enough horsepower to make it over those bumps. Pull it out and put a Hemi in there.

Come to think of it...I had converted to electronic ignition but crimped all the connections. Can anyone recommend a good soldering iron?
