For what it's worth, The points, rotor, cap, condenser, and wires are new. I also disassembled the distributor all of the way down to make sure the centrifugal advance was free and working OK. So, I'm pretty confident that those items are OK, and set up properly. My engine did not come from a car. It came from a P series truck, which I think was a step van, like a delivery truck, milk truck. etc. I will try new plugs next, and will report back.
