Like you guys recommended, the fist thing I tried was a new condenser, and still no start. Looked and was disappointed at the condition of the points. Dropped in the points conversion and it started, but ran intermittently. Coil was weak, and I tried the old one that came in a box of extra parts with the car and it worked, but the cover/housing was broken, so I bought a new replacement. Battery was getting older and was actually a smaller battery than what the car needed, so replaced it with a new and proper size one after the conversion. Need to get a new set of plug wires yet, as where they are crimped, is not so great. I'll do that next, along with a set of new sparkplugs.
