I've had it with this car.

I am guessing you have a single point distributor. Get on the Summit website and find yourself a Pertronix kit. You can install it in a half an hour with minimal knowledge and a few simple tools and it will last years with no troubles. Mike
(not a bad thing to upgrade and if it doesn't take care of your problem you know it's not points and condenser)

Half an hour drunk and blindfolded maybe. Ten minutes tops. Definitely the best way to go.
