I would hope and think the OP has hooked up a vacuum gauge and ruled out mechanical problems before narrowing it down to electrical? But good point to mention, should this not be the case? And, as a side note, mechanical lifters don’t “stick”. I guess I am assuming it is a 69 Z he is working on even though it was not stated. And, assuming a mechanical cam, as well.
