An Update...I installed a back up distributor with a new condenser (FA49) which i believe was responsible for the bad stumble and no power I was having. I re-used the Skip built coil and the terminal caps which had good continuity from the electrode to the end of the spark plug wire (thanks to Jim for the tip on the Brillman ends for a future change). I fixed the incorrect placement of the gaskets (good catch Terry, OH). The electrode to rotor gap was about 0.006. What is the effect of this increased gap on performance? Car runs very well!
