It didn’t look like I was getting much spark; so, I checked the points, and the point gap was off from where I set it a few weeks ago. I reset the point gap, and the car started great.
The lock screw (for lack of a better term) seemed to be tight on the point set screw. I wouldn’t think the rub block would have worn that much in 300 miles or so.
Does anyone have any ideas about why point gap would appear to “slip?”

It probably didn't slip, it probably wore. It depends on the quality of the points and whether the block was lubed. Greasing it correctly is very important.
