Without a good ground wire for the points the ignition can't work correctly. photo # 1
With a Dwell meter you can use it to see how stable the Point gap is (or isn't). If the reading varies by 5 degrees or more the distributor shaft bushings are worn, which can cause inconsistent spark timing.
Back in post #1 you said, "
Point dwell is at 28 at an idle but drops a little (22-24).." this could be part of the problem.
