FWIW Scottie, the last time I encountered these symptoms was when a Jago came stuttering into the Donington Show. The owner had stripped down the carb and found no problem- the car was just about drivable.

I took off the distributor cap and found that the points had closed up.

The Ford pre-crossflows (certainly my 105E Anglia) used a 0.015" gap whereas the cross-flows need 0.025".

Worth checking the gap against spec again?
