"Talked to Jeff with Advanced Distributors.... Strongly suggested I install points instead of the Petronics"
Bull shit!
Concerning distributor caps and plug wires I very much agree to have copper core wires and and an OE, preferably NOS Lucas distr. cap.
Some time ago I bought a bunch for the 23/25D4 distr. from a stand that is clearing stock from old garages on a classic car show, some original Lucas, some aftermarket but all NOS with copper instead of aluminium "contacts". Stuff from the 50's to 70's.

> Took the BJ8 out today.  Changed the plug wire to #6 (there was a visible spark last night).  The car struggled big time  Had to change rotors every 3 miles in order to get the car home.  Driving along and all of a sudden backfire, black smoke, nothing.  Changed the rotor (it was noticeably hot) and got another 2 or 3 miles out of it.  Looked tonight in the dark and the visible spark from number 6 plug was not there.  Talked to Jeff with Advanced Distributors and he suggested it was plug wires.  Strongly suggested I install points instead of the Petronics.  At his suggestion, I checked the ohm reading on the plug wires and they checked out OK.  Still wondering if it could be bad gas, I did add a product called “Heat.”  Supposed to absorb any water that may be in the gas tank.  Not much help, so far.
