Jim---Put a timing light on each plug wire in turn, and rev the engine
till it 'stumbles'.
If the timing light "misfires"  from ANY of the plug wires, you can at
least eliminate anything at the valves and carbs. A bad spark plug or
wire will also show up with this test. I'd be more inclined to suspect
the Pertronic ignition, as you haven't run the engine since installing
it.  You might want to put the points back in long enough to find out.
