I'm in the 'Most carburetor issues are electrical' camp.

Clean rotor, check points gap (renew as needed, and condenser). Get car warm
and find a hill to check it out. Might be the coil (as others suggest) but I'd
do the smaller stuff first.

Another thought that crossed my mind when I read your issue was the advance
mechanism in the distributor. Might it be gunged-up? Do you occasionally add a
couple of drips of engine oil to the screw head at the top of the spindle -
it's normally covered by the rotor.
