New points installed. Car ran fantastic for one day. Ran errznds, drove
into the country had a great day. Went out to drive it the next day and
started  it . It acted like it was not firing on all cyl. Runs, then quits.
No throttle response at all. Points gap was fine, with spark looking good.
Fuel pump seemed to have slow output. Replaced it today.  Output improved,
car now starts, but idles rough. No throttle response.
Going to replace new capacitor tonight. Any ideas?
