I used to have a problem like that with a motorcycle, the points were
closing when it got hot.  Try re-setting to .003-.005 wider than recommended
and see if it helps.  

I would have said check the fuel system for vapor lock but I should think
that it is still too cool out for that.

I need some help guys. I am at a loss to what is going on with my MG!

 

I have had issues with the car not starting after I drive it and it warms
up. So I went in and replaced the cap, rotor, plugs, plug wires, coil,
points, timed it and adjusted all gaps to specs. Now it runs great when it
is cold, really really, great, when it is cold. As soon as I hit the normal
temperature zone I have one and sometimes two cylinders that start missing.
This has totally baffled me. I have no idea what could possibly be going on.
At this point the only thing I can come up with is the distributor itself is
causing the problem, but I would prefer to find the cheaper solution first.

 

Any ideas?? Any help at all would be very appreciated!
