Michael,
Check out the points. These cars are notoriousfor eating them.
Especially check wiring to dist. Sounds also like it may be coil related.
To save time and aggrevation, hook up another one and see if it works.
As for starter. It is either turning too slow or a weak turn. Could also
be incorrect wiring to solenoid. Car shoud start and flywheel run away
from starter. Could also be that starter just needs good cleaning and lube.
