take the distributor off and remove the rotor button and look thru it to see if you can see an "electrical" trail of carbon . insulate the shaft which goes thru the rotor button with shrink wrap/electrical tape and try it again.

I read somewhere that you have to modify the bracket. Do you have to modify the bracket on the Napa IH-200 to make it fit? If so, any pictures?

That cond. mounts on the left coil screw,driverd side. The wire is attached to a 10X32 machine screw from the inside of the old original location.With a nut on the outside of the cond hole you can attach the cond wire with another nut and your good to go. Clear as I can make it. ken ct. 1-203-260-9780 if you don't understand ?? ken ct

UPDATE I had the ignition coil rebuilt by Skip Haney in Puerto Gordo FL (look for his ad in EFV8 Times) and voila problem solved! It no longer misses at load, i.e. driving down road at speed. It used to miss wildly with even the slightest acceleration, but now no issue at all. So the learning here is if the spark plugs and wires are good, the points ok, and the distributor ok, then it's the coil. Well, there's nothing left but the coil, so sorta obvious at that point. Since the coil was last touched in 1936 when it was installed in Detroit, it makes sense that by 2019 that it would need rebuilding. Thanks all for your advice.

My vote is not a gas supply problem. I had a 71 Corvette (don't throw rocks ... I know it's a Chevrolet) and it would back fire & pop. Changed the coil & condenser. Problem went away. Don't know which one was the fix.
