Maybe coil going south would account for subsequent rough running and low power. The truck was 6v, was converted to 12 by po. If I get a 12v coil, do i remove the ballast resistor? edit: answered my own question: no. ballast resistor is part of ignition circuit.

Well, my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' 55.
As I pulled away slowly,
Feelin' so holy,
God knows, I was feelin' alive..... Tom Waits, Ol' 55
