The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Misfiring and backfiring when engine is warm

Can someone help me please, my 1930 Sport Coupe runs prefectly for about ten minutes and then suddenly begins misfiring and backfiring very badly almost bringing the car to a stop. I have checked the timing, which is perfect - the car starts on the first turn. I have checked the points to the correct gap of .20, and the condenser is brand-new. What I suspect is that the coil needs to be replaced?
