it is hard to say, on coils at times I've seen what was a a feeble spark, yet the engine ran well. On something that old, and it looks to possibly be weathered, then the coil shorts between the windings while operating, that cannot be measured or seen, other than cracking on the outside of the coil.
Then again I've seen coils that were cracked to hell and I knew they were junk yet they worked well.
One thing sure, when the insulation gives up, the coil will go bad sooner or later. You have replaced parts, it really sounds like a condenser, but you replaced that. Condensers are sneeky little shits, they will idle all day long but cough sputter,and
piddle all over themselves if you increase the throttle.
Try a cheapo imported coil. Hell it's only money, you can't take it with you, and the Gubber-mint prints it everyday without backing of any kind.
