hi
i had similar problem last year...the point gap was ok. the car would not start or when it did it would run horribly....finally the plugs fouled. i replaced the plugs with new and the car started and ran ok...not great ok..
in the meantime i had ordered a pertronix ignitor set of electronic points from pp and i installed them... and when i was installing them i noticed that the wire that goes from the points thru the distributor housing was bare from rubbing against the distributor cam, ha this was causing intermittent missing and also hard starting...

the pertronix went in easily and i have not had any problems starting the car since then...the car runs really strong and does not miss at all. (knock on wood)
not to say that this is your problem but i would address the simple things first..
