YES, just the boot was pushed back...

*Those red plug wires, guessing they are not spiral carbon, but solid copper core.
(solid core for points)
YES, solid core
*Fuel pressure around 2-4, that is good.

*Vacuum around 15", 15" is too low for a engine, it should read a fairly steady 19" and when you step on it, it will drop to around 3-5" (not 0"). Adjust the idle and air screws on the carb to get it to around 19". That will help first off. (It bounces a little but that should improve as it runs more (valves maybe a little sticky).
If I adjust air/fuel screws out further it starts back firing thru muffler every so often, really want to think not getting enough voltage Checking ignition switch next! Condenser is Echlin FA54. Already did compression test and all cylinders had better than 80 lbs AND I also poured marvel mystery oil down each cylinder too plus added some to the fuel tank.

The hot engine shutdown... as mentioned, try another condenser (out of the box new is not always great).
Will do...
Also may want to pull some plugs and see what they look/smell like after it quits.
Black, but cleaned them and no change...also last cleaning gaped them to .030, autolite #386
good luck!

Excellent idea, I like that, will do and advise.

Professionally rebuilt, but thinking of putting old Dizzy back on just to check...

Once again, I thank each and every one of you for your input, I am determined not to let this car beat me, so 2020 IS the year it runs again!

Also, will try and get a better video without the back ground fan noise now that winter has returned once again (for the next few days anyway)
HAPPY NEW YEAR
