Thanks everyone - your comments on the points reminded me of a time about 20 years ago when I had just tuned up my '69 F100 pickup.
The truck was running superbly. A friend asked me to pickup a load of manure and move it to her house (about 25 miles from mine). After loading the manure, i drove to her place, unloaded the manure (she wasn't going to get her hands dirty), then went to start the truck. It wouldn't fire.
I spent the next three days commuting between her place and mine, replacing the distributor cap (thinking I had a crack in the cap), coil, wires, etc with no luck. Finally, the only thing left to change were the points and condenser (which I refused to consider originally as I had just replaced them 30 miles before the engine stopped working).

So, tomorrow, I will check the points and if it's not that I'll replace the condenser.
