"39 standard --60hp ---very happy to buzz up the parkway at 70 --never finished a parade running --after 1 hour sleep --happy to do 70 on the parkway again. "
Ford performance test standards called for your 60 to be able to hit a blazing 76 MPH...buzzing though 4.44's! Your car's need for hour-long naps is a classic symptom of a dying coil; typical elderly Ford coils work fine cold, gradually cut out as they heat up, then work fine again once cool.
