I've had a Pertronix fail in a very similar fashion to that which you
described. You might want to try the quick solution of reinstalling the
points to see if that helps before you go to far in other directions.
Pertronix by the way supplied a replacement free of charge.

Thank you all for helpful suggestions.
It's not the condenser since I run an electronic ignition conversion
(Pertronix.)
It's unlikely condensation in the tank in that it's been full since the end
of the summer and still at 3/4 full.
I just went down to open the fuel pump and got a gush of gas out the bolt
hole and around the lid. About a pint came out before I got scared since it
showed no signs of stopping.
I guess it seems something is blocking the fuel line between the pump and
the carbs(?)
Thanks very much for ideas/suggestions/remedies.
