Sounds like its ignition; you seem to be leaning that way also. I'd first
try a new ballast resistor, then ignition box (you can get a cheap one off
the parts store shelf just for the sake of testing to see if yours is bad),
then coil (they do get hot, I don't know how accurate your hand thermometer
is). If none of that fixes it, try a new pickup in the distributor.
Are you running the early style alternator (points regulator) or do you have
an electronically regulated charging system? Supposedly the electronic
ignition won't last with the old school regulators.
