intermittent B-motor starting issue

I'm having a VERY intermittent starting issue with my '79 900gle. Every coulpe of weeks it just won't start. Plenty of power to the starter, fuelpump sounds good, newer (5months) Warm-up Reg. Dry dist cap, good wires.
Usually, it starts up fine, and always runs really well.
Sometimes, it won't start immediately, but will start after it sits a while. Today, it wouldn't start for several minutes - I pulled the sparks out, tapped on the WUR, and it started a few minutes later. Other times it will turn over a good minute or 2 before it starts.
Again though - it usually starts right up, warm or cold weather. Today wasn't very chilly either.
Any tricks I might try? The plugs look fine but i'm going to change them all tonight anyway...they're at least 18 months old iirc. Otherwise I'm stumped
