Will run good after everything gone threw, then will start not accelerating properly then backfires under load, after warmed up, seems to become, flooded as plugs have oil threads appearance and light un-burned look on spark area,

It sounds like the condenser is going bad, I would start with a new set of points and then install a new condenser and go from there.

Please let us know what happens.

Best, Ken
