I screwed up. Here's the link that takes you to Past #714 on Page 72 of the thread:

It's been a couple of weeks since my last update on this drivability issue with my 1934 1100 and I am pleased to say that we found the cause.
Took a break from work so I could drive the '34 over to the shop. We removed the distributor and placed in into a Sun distributor tester and discovered the following: 1. Mechanical advance was correct and working properly 2. The dwell was not correct - so we corrected it 3. Spark plug wires were working properly 4. Replaced two of the spark plugs as the screw tops were stripped. The car now drives well throughout the RPM range, no more loss of power, no more bucking or stumble. How interesting that the dwell makes such a big difference.
