[Healeys] Ruff running, bucking car

Could be your coil. I had a similar problem when I started up after a 
rebuild. It was an oil filled Sports coil that had leaked its oil. It 
failed when it became hot. I also noticed that the case was almost too 
hot to touch.

It tested OK when cold but it appears that a simple test is not 
sufficient.
