Needless to say, everything I researched said that the points are very unreliable so it has been converted to an HEI set up now.
Glad you found the problem. I had the same thing happen to me on my 69 with an HEI dis so I should have considered the distributor/coil as a possibility. What threw me off is when you mentioned the engine barely turning like the battery low on voltage.

Thanks for update.
