She runs again! Thanks to everyone for your help. It
seems to have been a combination of bad condensor and
too wide point gap (plus a little of the dirty
distributor problem, perhaps). How can the gap widen,
BTW? The point screw was tight, and wear on the point
block would tighten the gap, right? Wo anyway, I took
the distributor all apart and cleaned it up real well,
adjusted the gap (and timing, now that that was thrown
off), and she runs much better, though not quite 100%.
The points fire off a hugh spark, so I will replace
that, and then perhaps we will be back to 100%.
It sure is a lot nicer to work on the old bird then on
the newer bikes I've had!
