I had a similar problem last year on my T-Bird. Checked out EVERYTHING, got new coil, resistor, condenser, points were burned and got new ones, Carb and fuel pump checked out.

Got really good advice here, and tried it all. Cannot say for sure what the problem was, but I finally put in a Pertronix ignition and matching coil in a later 292 distributor from E-bay. Eliminated condenser, points, and resistor.

Problem solved.
