I had something like this happen as well. My very original '51 came with this black bakelite cylindrical doohickey in the coil wire. I think it was a suppressor of some kind. I started having intermittent problems, so I pulled the coil wire and replaced it with a chunk of Packard 440, which solved the problem. (The doohickey had a Ford part number on it.)
Not that this has any bearing n the O/P's problem, since the '34's had an integral coil, but I thought I'd mention it anyway, on the chance that he has installed an adapter and remote coil.
