 Pertronix:: that COULD be the problem. Before you wrap the fuel lines, which I have NEVER seen necessary, put a set of points, condenser, and low tension lead back in and go from there.
It may also be possible that your fuel mixture may be too rich, so an old CO meter would be VERY useful(I set the CO at 4-5% at 3000ropm, the "cruising" point). Newer spark plugs can clean up carbon rich mixtures, unlike the old plugs that came in out cars
