You said you plan to purge the cylinders. Does that mean it's flooding; the plugs gas-fouled when you take them out? If so, you have carburetor problems (sunken float, dirt in needle and seat, bad needle and seat assembly, non-vented or only partially vented gas cap?), as you probably already know. If you've eliminated that possibility and think it's spark related, one weird thing I've seen on these is that the distributor was driven by a sleeve/shaft assembly that was sweated together, but had loosened up. I noticed the engine seemed to be losing power, like the timing was off. Reset the timing; a little later, the same thing. Once I found the cause, I drilled through the sleeve/shaft assembly and installed a pin. Had no more of that problem.
