Check the dizzy advance. If it's a vacuum advance, pull the hose off the
carb and suck on it to see if it rotates.
Could be distributor bushings wearing. Grab the rotor and try to push it
from side to side. It should not move at all to the side.
Last, it may be fuel starved at higher rpm. Replace fuel filter and check
the carb settings.
It's a start!
