The Ford Barn

I took my 29 blind back out today. It's running very rough. Before I went, I raised the float level of my "B" carb, that made it leak! I lowered the level, That fixed the leaking but it still ran rough, intermittent miss. I was stopped for a while, so I checked the distributer. I was looking for a very loose top bearing. Nope, it was tight as new. No slop! I had set the points at .020-21 . The spark is set with a little to much advance, but I compensate with the spark lever. I'll retime it. This one bothered me somewhat though. One of the contacts in the ORIGINAL Ford dist. cap/body shows rotor contact (Only one) Beside that. nothing much! Carb. bowl is clean. Coil is orig. Ford and I found spare condensers (2) under the seat if that means anything. Can anyone shed some light?
