Since it started and sounded great after replacing the ignition stuff, my money says the problem is with the points, advance, not the distributor gears.

One of my 140's had a point set screw that would eventually slip after tightening. The screws are el cheapo any way. It would start great but eventually would start slipping, go out of time, start backfiring, and quit. Then it would not start until the gap was reset. I put in a hex head screw to tighten better which helped some.

Recheck the point gap and be sure this is not the problem. Make sure the set screw is holding tight. Also make sure the spark advance is set about 14 deg. I would do this prior to removing the distributor.

I spent the bucks for electronic ignition which solved all those timing / gap / dirty points / problems.
