Could be any of the ignition components.
Do you have power to the coil/points when it plays up? If not it could be a poor connection somewhere.
When you have a spark is it a good blue spark or a poor yellow one? If yellow, change the condenser.
Is the points gap correct? If they are not separating when it warms up.......
The rotor arm could be leaking, but not likely.
Spark could be going somewhere other than to plugs - check for spark at points by opening (with an insulated screwdriver?) with power on.
Beware and be sure it is an ignition fault before changing all the components - gets kinda expensive changing everything and finding the fault is elsewhere
Regards and let us know what you find, RAB
