Since you have points, you got a condensor too. I used to tune-up cars for a business, and ran into 3 bad condensors in all the cars I experienced. One of them was a used one. The other TWO were NEW ones! Don't overlook it! Seems like today's uni-points--points and condensor mtd. together--seem to give more problems re: quality control than they used to when individual components!
