I've had the same problem in the past. If you are running mechanical points, there is a resistor that is attached to the firewall in the engine compartment on the drivers side. Before putting electronic ignition in my truck, I had to replace the resistor twice in around 20 years... You can get a replacement at most auto stores, however the reproduction ones will look a little different - and I don't think you can mount them the same way as the original.
