Check the condensers(capacitors). I would replace them with Onan units which are almost fool proof in hot engine situations. The points wear down the fiber post that rubs on the cam surface. This causes a change in the point gap. Sometimes a part of the points shorts out gainst the case of the distributer, and is hard to see. It can be frustrating, but if the coils are ok have you tried swapping coils to see if the opposite side of the engine fails? I’ve had each of these problems myself.
