Check: Dwell, timing, valve adj, spark plugs and gaps, dist adv mechanisms (both vac and mech), fuel pressure (fuel filter) If any of the following are not Bosch, replace them with Bosch: capacitor, dist cap, dist rotor, points. Check Bosch rotor for 5k or 10k of resistance from center contact to outer contact. Clean off nose of coil, inside and outside of dist cap. Verify ~1000 Ohms resistance from dist cap to each spark plug connection. Some SP wire sets have a large coil connector that has an additionalJEhS10k Ohms in it, if you have this that wire will measure that, otherwise 0. That's a start.
