I'll be interested to hear if the coil solves your problem. My guess  
is, it won't. Typical coil failure is: Engine (coil) gets hot, won't  
run. Engine (coil) cools off, runs.

I'd sure check the coil lead and the condenser. Usually when my car  
runs badly, I replace the points and cap, which doesn't solve the  
problem, then I try and figure out what the problem really is. I don't  
pretend to be a whiz at trouble-shooting problems like this and am  
surprised you didn't get more responses. I'd also be sure you haven't  
gotten a bit of trash in a carb jet. But, it does sound like ignition.
