Michael -
Just as a follow up to my email since the symptoms seem to manifest
themself ...
- whether the car is warmed up or not - this typically will exclude
anything related to fuel or the coil
- whether the car is under load or not - this typically will exclude
anything related to fuel
- whether the choke is pulled or not - this typically will exclude
anything related to fuel
- somewhat intermittent but systematically under all conditions -
suggests to me wiring / ground issues
Given this I'd check (as a priority):
- Battery Master (when these fail they will ground the coil)
- primary ignition wire (white) from the switch to coil (cycle the
connections)
- motor ground straps (cycle the connections)
- loose wires in the dizzy
- loose ignition wires into the dizzy or spark plug
Other things to possibly do (as secondary):
- replace rotor
- replace dizzy cap
I don't think it would be contacts or condensor simply because this would
either be very regular all the time, or maybe sensitive to temp.
Best,
Alan

It is (or should be). If the battery switch is in the 'OFF' pos=
ition
it grounds the coil primary so no spark.<br>
