There's a saying amongst old mechanics. "80% of carburetor problems are electrical"...

How are the points ? High quality ?
Gapped correctly ? Too narrow of a gap (high dwell reading) will cause a weak spark and affect low rpm performance.

Divorced condenser or the all in one set ? Back in the day the all in 1 were not reliable. No clue what is even a high quality set of points anymore. Since I am not in the league of judging my stuff, I have Pertronix conversions in all my cars.
