Sounds like a carb problem with accelerator pump/main metering/power valve-also check fuel pressure/ignition timing

Replaced fuel pump & filter, rebuilt the carburetor, new hoseses and vacuume advance, set dwell, idol, and timming, new points, rotor cap and dist. cap. plugs and wires are not that old and look fine. new gas cap, airfilter, even put a cloths pin on the fuel line for the hell of it. The carb is very clean and looks great, but could it be warped or something? it is 38 years old and I wouldnt know where or what is warped. I think it is all new carb time. Dang it

Check and test the coil and ignition switch could be heating up and breaking
