Also, shoot the timing and verify it’s advancing with RPM.

>> I have a 1960 Bugeye. Starting sputtering a bit recently but yesterday it got much worse on a 20 mile drive. Started to pop and sputter and lose power. Pretty good on flat roads but even on a minor grade it would hardly move. Limped it to a friend's house. We checked and re-set the points, no improvement. If I let it sit for a while it runs okay for maybe a mile and then problem gets bad again. Can't really drive it far or it is going to leave me stranded. I'm thinking a fuel delivery problem, pump or carbs. Would appreciate any thoughts from folks here.
