My suggestion is that you place your question here: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4
The section you posted in is for questions to the editors about the site, it is seldom read or responded to.

It sounds like you're dealing with a weak spark issue despite replacing the points and condenser. A few things you might want to check: ensure the gap on the points is set correctly according to the specifications for your 1950 Ford Convertible.
