Old is the electronic one, right?


On the points distributor:

Pull on the wire that goes into the condenser. If it pulls out, you have the culprit. Not a common failure.

If you have an ohmmeter, check the condenser resistance. The meter will (maybe) give a little blip, and then settle to infinity. Anything less than infinity, the condenser is shorted.

Check that the breaker plate ground wire is intact.
