Car v4 starts well and idles beautifully.but on acceleration she shuts off. Is it the carburetor or distributor?

Hi, need to know whether the condenser will cause car to idle only and cut off when trying to rev there is a flat spot as well. have set timing, good fuel supply, new points and plugs.

I kind of doubt it is the condenser but grounded points will do that . they will let the car idle but nothing else. also check ground in distributor to plate from housing.
