Is it possible the distributor shaft bronze bushings could be worn just enough 
that at higher RPM that extra clearance or possible wobble could affect the 
timing of the points action and gap, and/or the rotor to cap timing and spacing?

Spark Plug wires will fail under load like that.  That'd be my first thought 
before plugs, especially with electronic ignition and especially if you're 
running anything other than copper core wires.  Then the distributor cap and 
rotor.  Some of the older rotors were sketchy.


Have fun!

Condenser and coil seem like likely culprits to me.

Tr-3 starting to miss (like a ?fluttering?).

Anything over 3,000 rpm.  3,000 miles on new overhaul.  Gonna check carb oil, 
plugs, fuel filter/pump, ....any thots?



Have electronic ignition.
