When an otherwise fine running flathead all of a sudden has not much power it can also be that the spring strap on one of the sets of points has broken. The engine will run on one set of points but not real well due to lack of dwell. Not the case here but something to keep in mind on dual point setups.
I suspect the Loadmatic which needs everything perfect to perform adequately or not on right tooth of drive..
