Default 1947 Ford running rough when accelerated

I have a 1947 Ford Super Deluxe V8 that starts and runs smooth at idle but when accelerated it runs more rough and hesitates. Does that sound like an electrical issue or fuel ?? The car is 6v positive ground with points and condenser.

The hesitant is the accelerator pump and the rough running is an electrical problem. IMO
Check points, condenser, and plugs.

I had a feeling it had to do with the points and condenser. I will replace them.

Don't buy offshore (Chinese made) ignition parts. NAPA Echlin brand is probably the best, or Tubman on this forum, I believe he makes quality condensers.
