Thanks, Duke.

bad condenser - highly suspect (non-Bosch)
weak coil - less suspect but very possible
dirty loose battery terminal connections - new battery, tight cables, cranks good
cracked distributor cap - new Bosch
burnt carboned rotor - new Bosch
bad ignition or coil wire - is 42 years old too much?
wrong point gap - new Bosch, proper gap
worn spark plug or wrong gap - new NGKs, proper gap
too much cussing - possibly but not loud enough.

Any idea what resistance I should get across the coil terminals?
