Reporting back on tests

Removed gas cap and ran engine in gear at 1460 rpm it ran for 52 mins in total.
It started struggling at min 33 to 52
During the run water temp was 178 , consistent white vapour it had smell and was warm to the touch and lots of water through exhaust, oil pressure steady at 40 to 42.

Not sure if I performed the spark test correctly, never done one before.

Engine stopped I push in my ignition switch ( other wise my points burn out I am told)
I went under the stair hatch pull lead off the 1st plug in front of the row removed the very hot plug attached the lead cap to it and cranked the engine handle anti clockwise or to the left I did not see any spark crank 3 or 4 times total.
The spark plug had some black residue on it, I haven’t checked the rest of the spark plugs.
