Defective condenser? Coil breaking down? Fouled spark plugs? Try timing it the old school way. It will get you close enough to start. Pull #1 plug and put your thumb over the hole tightly. Have someone bump the starter until your thumb gets pushed off the hole. Go slow and stop immediately when it happens. Pop the dist cap and see where the rotor is. Adjust the placement of the plug wires on the cap accordingly. Have your cranking buddy crank the engine while you hold the #1 plug wire close to a ground with a pair of insulated pliers (unless you like the jolt of electricity) and watch for a good blue spark. Fuel spark and compression it should start. Best of luck.
