Could this be caused by a to rich fuel mixture or possibly timing problem.
Engine runs smooth and accelerates well. It also is hard to start after it sits for a couple days(takes a lot of pumping of the gas pedal)

I'm having the same problem with a 351w with 2X4s in a 40 ford.I have rebuilt both edelbrock carbs,changed plug wires,and checked for exhaust leaks.

Another source for ignition is Bubbas in Indianapolis . He is great to deal with and Knows his stuff. check on the flathead v-8 side of the Fordbarn.
