Ok, points about .018-gonna put in the new points I got this mornin-just cause...

Tell me more about the heat riser in the manifold.???

Last time I drove this I put new fuel in as well, almost a full tank so I know its ok gas.

I even set a hair dryer on the base of the carb to melt the frost and let it sit for a while and revved her on up, no change, at high revs she still sputters and bogs down-not nearly as much as when I try and drive her but enough you can notice the slow down in the engine speed.

Now looking at the wear on the cap and rotor, there is discoloration on one side of the rotor where it arcs, and on the cap there is also discoloring at all contacts but only on 1 side of them, as if the timing is off by a hair and is arcing late or early. Still would a few degrees like this even cause this sort of problem?

Thanks for all the help so far!
Stay tuned as I will need more help! Thanks, Jeff
