Re: 292 Questions
Thinking more about this, what do the wire running to the points and the breaker plate to ground wire look like? Check the ends especially to see if there are a bunch of broken filaments. It could be that there are enough for idle and a bit of speed, but not enough to carry current when the engine is under load. I don't think that this was mentioned before. The breaker plate ground wire flexes as the vacuum advance moves, so it can eventually wear out.
