I assume we are talking about my old 12 cab?
We both know she is a sweet runner, at least it was a few years ago.
Dad and I had to play with the distributor quite a bit back then to get it just right. The symptoms you mention sound familiar, due to the timing out of whack.
Pull the distributor out and reset the timing, making sure all is free as suggested and swap out the condensor as well with a new one.
The flatheads run like crap when the timing is out, especially when trying to accelerate as you describe.
