On donations. People want to bless you. Donation is a blessing. You have been blessed by someone who considered the road your on tough so they want to bless you. They in turn will most probably, receive their own blessing, which will be just what they needed for their own road. It’s about others. That’s all I have for you. Ain’t got any money or parts to send you, just a sermonette some one shared with me once. Eye on the prize! 👍

Finally I gave up and bought a NOS distributor and it's ran great ever since. To this day I cannot figure out what went wrong, LOL. Luckily parts for 235 engines are still easy to find.

Points open and close a path to ground , So even that the wire going to the points is isolated , the body of the points and what it touches needs to have a good path to ground . I wonder if the plate the points are on may be loosing ground. Wonder if that is the spark you are seeing down in dist. . Now after watching more of the video , scratch all i said as it runs again now . lol May take new carb off , clean all fuel out and put on a shelf . With modern day fuel you may need it someday .

FYI Not all current plastics are insulators. I worked with a feller at LPS labs who invented and patented a method of putting metal fibers into plastics so they were detectable for the food industry. That way they could find and discard any product that may have been contaminated by spray straws and spray nozzles, caps off of the spray can etc. If a molder was used for making those items then was used to make an oil bottle, or whatever plastic you may have used, there may be enough residue left in the plastic injector to cause intermitent shorting of high voltage such as a spark for a car ignition. That is something that I do not think was ever tested for, but who knew that a feller like you might be resourcefull enough to do what you do.
