I had similar recurring engine failures until another forum member, GrahamO, found that there was poor earthing from the points to the distributor base plate. We resolved by soldering a wire onto the points base and running it to the condenser body. See the green wire in the photo. The long term solution was to install a new distributor base plate, because the screw threads for holding the points base were in poor shape.
