A white spark from the coil lead to the block isn't what you should have; the goal is a blue spark that will jump about a quarter inch....reread Tom's post #3! Though I'm not a fan of switching parts until a problem is cured, in this case I would try replacing the condenser and/or the coil and see what happens. You mention cleaning carbon deposits off the coil - perhaps that indicates a problem there. Do one at a time and see if the problem goes away.
