Bob,

A few things that I have not seen while reading your explanations about what you have done come to mind.

Have you considered an intake manifold leak? If you have a leak here, the fuel will not be sucked in to be able to burn.

If that is not the case, I would think that, as has been mentioned, you may need to clean or replace the sparkplugs, or points.

Those who are urging you to get back to the basics are right. It is impossible for us to diagnose it from afar without really precise explanations of what has and has not been done. It is surely a simple problem. Simple problems are sometimes more elusive than difficult problems.
