did you change the points and condenser?

look on the left side of the motor (as is youre sitting on it)
there will be a flat machined surface there with numbers stamped on it
post those numbers here (H20 A15 or J15 most likely)

dont set the points with a matchbook
get a feeler gauge and set them to.020"

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
