THANKS!!!!

The points still have to be right and you can test the distributor's bearings by using a dwell tach and rev the engine. Dwell should not move more than five degrees or it could be the problem. That would be the distributor bearings. Distributors can be rebuilt and new points set exactly by some old time rebuilders. The condenser should go too. Gray hair can pay off!!
