I never had a problem with one cause I always change it with points but I have read a lot of yakin on here about a bad condenser doing just that when it got hot. It would apparently short out or "spark" which is an intermittent short and this short bypasses the points. Every time the points are bypassed, you miss that blast of whoopie to the plug supposedly getting it and it is a misfire.

The other problem is fuel starvation which could be dirt in the line or could be a non-vented fuel cap. Cap is easy to check. When missing, just raise the hood and remove the fuel tank cap. If you hear a whoosh, you have your problem.

There is a screen at the bottom of the tank where the fuel leaves. Visual inspection would reveal whether or not it is clogged as you can see it looking down thru the fuel tank fill hole. There is a screw in the top that can be carefully removed and it can be extracted, cleaned and replaced.

Give that a go and get back.
