You have been given so much advice so far I don't if this five cents worth is going to help.
One thing that you can do is to put in a temporary live wire from your battery straight to the coil '+' terminal or balast resistor if you have one. Start the car and then see if the symptoms persist. If the symptoms are gone your ignition switch is dodgy and if they are still there then you have at least eliminated the ignition switch as the source of your problems.
I would also like to suggest that you dont worry too much about trying to achieve the correct dwell angle and just make sure that you have a good points gap of between 0.016 and 0.018". I have never worried about dwell and gotten reasonable fuel economy with my 122S.
