Thanks for the responses guys. I'll try to add some more information here.
Vinny, the points may be burnt. They did have a grey colored oxide on them. They only have about 100 miles on them. What would cause them to burn? Oh and the points are tight on the plate.
DHoward, no moisture on the inside of the cap, nice and dry. No broken insulation. Wiring is new.
Hugh, the condensor wire and the wire from the coil are both connected to the points. The points are screwed to the distributor base plate. Wouldn't this "ground" the condensor anyway? Could you give me more information as to what to look for? I will check the dwell as you describe. Fortunately, I still have a dwell meter for use with my British cars!
