First off...Welcome to the Ford Barn
Post 5 would be a good place to start
But my advice...Before you start changing out/replacing parts try to pin point the problem as best possible, always start with the simple things first and progress up.
For an example...Plugged fuel cap vent (quite common, easy fix)
You also asked: Could it be overheating? - I can't answer that, but you can...is it
Bad spark plugs? - Pull them out and check/clean them up, re-gap
Could the timing be off? - Could be, when was the last time you set the timing, or changed/checked the points
These cars like being worked on/maintained just as much or more as being driven, seeing how your car is 94 years old it will get a little cranky if you don't give it the attention it wants, your car will let you know this by choking, sputtering, knocking and ultimately leaving you on the side of the road.
Please let us know what you find...we all love to help
