There are a lot of areas you should look at to ensure the voltage to the coil is as high as possible: Battery, Battery cables, wire connections to all ignition terminals, ignition switch. It is also a good idea to have the coil rebuilt and if the distributor has not been cleaned and serviced for years have that done, especially if you drive your car and want peak performance. If you send the distributor and inner caps, coil, and condenser to Bubba (here on this web page) he can have your coil rebuilt and ensure all the components are in peak condition. Check the ignition wires for zero ohms end to end. What spark plugs are you using? What Carburetor, since lots of carbon can be caused by the Carb. delivering too much fuel?
