When my car started running very poorly, I assumed that if it was the
Pertronix, it wouldn't run at all. Poor assumption. The magnets in the
collar went all askew, so it was sparking but at all the wrong times. I
don't know if that's the situation here, but I think the next thing I would
do is replace the Pertronix with points. Even if that doesn't solve the
problem, at least you can static time it and get a baseline. Next I would
look for a vacuum leak.

Hey, Keith:
I think we are still in "information gathering mode" J
You say "there were only 3 cylinders getting spark", but then "I also had
spark on #2, #3, and #4", so it sounds like you do have a spark at all 4
plugs? One thing you do not mention is the state of the plugs: are they
wet and fouled, suggesting flooding?
Have you done a compression test?
My experience with Pertronix is when they fail there is no spark, but maybe
someone else will chime in on whether a failure could still have a spark,
albeit insufficient to get the car to run.
