Hi Shazbot

Adjusting the points is critical, a slight variation in dwell angle will make all the difference. The capacitor has to be tested the coil as well if it's open or shorted. Do a continuity test on wires. Since it's been sitting for a while, add a few drops of oil in the cylinder to build higher compression.
