This could be any number of concerns, the first and most basic is when was your last complete tune up? I am talking wires, plugs, all filters? If no codes are present start with the basic stuff, just like the 50's! Let me know where you stand with it after the tune up. Use a dwell meter and rev to about 2000 rpm, dwell should only change by 3 degrees, if higher check for sideplay in the distributor shaft. Check point condition and gap. Sorry I don't have specs for a car this old.
