On my most recent project it was a new coil that cleared up the intermittent rough idle, but mine isn't a flathead. You didn't mention choke but that might be the most logical place to start (is it a manual?)
Beautiful car! I love that paint color (is that what they call "coral"?) Also, you have a
very nice garage. For some reason, I don't imagine most fordbarn people as having a garage that nice.
