Ignition Switch - Engine will die at an idle or while driving down the road. I recently had to replace mine on my 56.
High RPM miss - Worn plugs, bad condensor, incorrect point gap, worn distributor shaft bushings
Idle miss - Incorrect air idle adjustment, bad plug, shorted electrical system.
If you replaced your electrical parts with new, check your distributor shaft for play. Also start the engine at night in a dark area. The intent is to look for any blue arking in electrical parts indicating a short.
