=====Wild Guess # 1======
As the engine speed is increasing, the breaker plate in the distributor will pivot. Is it possible that this movement is causing either the condenser lead or the coil lead to short out on the distributor body? How about the short ground wire from the plate to the distributor body; is it secure? As you can see, I'm starting with the cheap, easy stuff.
