W-4 driving now but further problems

So i re-did the wiring, cleaned the carb, cleaned the fuel tank and lines and now she starts on the first turn. but I am not out of the water yet

After 20 minutes of driving the engine starts to sound like it is struggling, then it fires funny coughs and dies. It does not need to cool down, but will fire back up again. I checked the distributor cap and there were brass powder in there, so my points are messed up?? How do I adjust/clean my cap, and what should it look like, there is some scoring on the cap pins. another post mentioned a bad coil?

the second immediate concern is a slight wobble in the front wheel, so that when I turn it strains and shudders, Is this an adjustment problem or new bearings or what?

I must say I have turned a huge lawn ornament into a small soon-to-be-working tractor, and that's thanks to all (sure wasn't me solving things), it's the only thing that has got me mobile.
