my guess it would either be the lead or the dizzy cover. try the faulty lead on a friends car and see if its loose like in your car. or try a friends lead and attach it to the dizzy, and see if its still loose. then just go from there, once you know what it is.

The metal inside the lead that holds it onto either the distributor or the plug may be damaged. Have a look at both ends, try and bend them in so that they get a better grip. Also i found with some leads (on other cars) they get pressurised when you push them onto the plug or dissy, so you get a dentist pick and bend the rubber boot off so the pressure is relieved.

Id just reckon that the prongs are bent and not gripping properly.
