I haven't read everything on this thread - but if this is still a points
distributor, could this be the spindle wobbling in a worn bushing? I've
had this happen. Lateral play in the dist'r spindle will cause erratic
opening/closing of points. Also how about that ground lead to the breaker
plates? If broken, the car will run but not well.
