Sorry but I'm not following you here. You posted about this back in July. Your last post at that time gave the impression it would only run wide open, so it had spark then and you were looking at fuel issues. In this post you first say it has weak spark at the plug wires. Later in this post you say you have fire at the points but not out the top. If you are referring to out the top of the distributor cap the center post terminal receives spark from the coil via the coil wire, so if you pull the coil wire from the coil, leaving it in the distributor cap, it cannot give a spark. The spark, delivered via the coil wire, to the center post of the cap is distributed to the plug wire posts by the rotor button inside the distributor, so the two statements don't matchup. Pulling the coil wire from the distributor, leaving it in the coil, should show a spark if you hold the distributor end of the wire about an 1/8 to 1/4 inch from the block, while cranking the engine with the ignition switch on. Please clarify what and how you are checking things.
Has it been setting since July, or did you get it straightened out and have been running it since then?
Try putting a piece of cardstock or brown paper bag between the closed contacts of the points and rubbing them with it to clean any film from them as a first step, even though you say you have fire at the points.
