Sounds like this is going to require getting back to the basics. You're going to have to take vacuum readings thru the rpm range & install the spark testers to test the ignition.

Where are you sourcing your propane? What type of lp tank are you using? What type of shut off solenoid does your system have?

If you've got a model J impco converter with the correct spring & a new electronic distributor, then it's time to look outside the box. Where did you source the dist cap, rotor, wires & spark plugs. I personally have had no luck with tvh parts in the tune up/electronic realm.

Are you sure the ignition coil is receiving a full 12 volts thru the entire rpm range? All these suggestions are all off the wall but they do rear their head once in a blue moon

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
