Already checked acc pump, working fine,found vacuum advance unit on dist not working, replaced along with points, cap, rotor, cond., and vac. unit, when car reaches op temp same problem. I went to buy a ballast resistor(BWDRU12) but the ohm reading was 1.5. Other forum says that's too high. Could the coil be failing when hot? Advanced timing , thought that worked but when op temp reached , same problem. Still searching. Running out of ideas.
