Start simplest, cheapest and work up.
Check plugs, plug wires. 
Wires can sometimes be checked at night, outside in the dark for corona and
sparks jumping.

Could an occasional mis-fire at higher rpm's  - once or twice every 
second or so at 3,000 rpm, not regular - be caused by bad gap or poor 
contact surface in the points in the dizzy??
I can see the stutter in the timing light when the inductive pickup 
is placed on the HT lead of the coil.
I'd like to get an opinion before I go ahead and pull the dizzy..

Thanks
