Why is this?

Higher heat will tend to burn off deposits, as will a lean mixture. Late timing allows combustion chamber surfaces to run hotter, especially the exhaust valves.

Well my new condensers and points came in finally , so I am going to embark on the route first.
I could find no fuel issues , either with restrictions or lines getting hot and vaporizing , and no vapor lock on the cap.
Fixed points had a good size "bump" on them , for a safe word to use lol.
Got all the wiring sorted out for the courtesy running board lights and a few other bugs.
Still starts to act like it is breaking down after about 10 miles , does well up to then. Starts fine, runs right up to 60 on the local roads posted 55 : ) .
Delving into a 33 V12 now that has the Owen Dyneto set up and isn't putting out much over 1 volt....

Did you check your coil?

Check out page 73 post#729
Is this hapoening to you? It was a punctured float in the carb.
Also see post #762 where the cause was identified by Daytona as a faulty float
I will see about reposting the video at #729
It shows how the car runs, but quits when it starts up hill and needs gas.

Thanks , found the post.
