The Ford Barn

Took my '55 T-Bird out for a drive last Saturday and before I could get out of the neighborhood it cut out on me and wouldn't start back up. The carb is getting gas, it seems to be getting a spark. It will turn over, fire a cylinder, but won't continue to fire. Also not sure if it is related but I also get some blue smoke out the tail pipe when cranking it. I have cleaned the points, recently replaced the condenser (about 50 miles and 3 months ago), and changed out the coil.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to check next?
