When I had almost the same problem ... almost exactly the same
symptoms ... it turned out to be the coil ... especially after it
heated up ... just to be on the safe side I also replaced the wires
(which turned out to be lucky) two of the "green" wires fell apart
as I removed them ... :-(

>>Hi all:
>>"76 TR6 was running a little rough for my daughter, so today I
>>pulled and cleaned/gapped plugs (they looked good),reset points,
>>checked rotor, dist. cap and wires. Found one wire with high
>>resistance whe moved around, so pulled and cleaned the terminal
>>&cap socket and it was OK.
>>Plugs. points, rotor and condenser have less than 500 miles on them.
>>
>>Took it for a test ride and everything was fine at first.Then I
>>started driving it harder, running it up under full throttle thru
>>the gears. all of a sudden it started to miss badly. Backed off and
>>soon it smoothed out somewhat. Repeated, and happened again, but
>>worse. Pulling choke out did not help.
>>
>>Turned around and headed home. For a while, I didn't think we were
>>going to make it; miss got very bad with intermittent complete loss
>>of power, then very rough, stumbling running. Almost like the
>>ignition was being switched on and off rapidly. After running at
>>light throttle for a minute or so, things got better and I made it
>>home.
>>
>>Does this sound like it could be the condenser (even tho new), or
>>maybe the coil? I don't see anything obvious like a loose coil
>>wire, etc.
