That could certainly be the problem. Check the contact to make 
sure that it is free on its pivot; put a drop of light oil there. Make 
sure that there is no dried grease on the rubbing block that is 
holding it up. There should be some light grease on the cam and 
rubbing block to keep these from wearing. You can bend the fixed 
contact slightly to make the "dwell" longer, if necessary. Each 
contact should be closed about 180 deg. I don't think there should 
be any time when they are both closed.

If in doubt, I can rebuild your distributor.
