Jerry and those who suggested vacuum leak are the winner!
We checked the valves and all was well and went back to the manifold. The bolts were tight but we realized that the intake manifold inserts were not installed so that there was a big leak at the gasket. Once we installed those, torqued it all back down it now runs like it should...purring.
My next trip to town was going to be for a new set of points.
All is right in the world again. Thanks for all the help from everyone.
