Thanks for all the help.
The problem is consistent in that it always starts great from cold. It never quits while running, but after a good run if you shut it off, it won't go (lots of gas, not so much spark). The resistor in the dash is burning hot and the coil on the top of the distributor is nice and cool (though I'm touching the plastic case and not the windings on the inside).
I like the idea of an eternal coil, one with an internal resistor wired through a dummy Ford coil. Added to my to-do list.
