I run a Pertronix in my 65 Comet and a few years ago it started acting a lot like you say yours is. It would start and idle but would hardly move the car. I put the points back in to get home and it ran pretty good so I thought the Pertronix unit had gone bad. I got another one and the same thing. Now this is very unusual and probably not what is causing your problem, but it turned out that my distributor shaft had just a little play in it and it would start to move some as it got warmer. I got a new distributor and put it in and the unit has now been working great for 5 years.
