G'Day Tom,
If the starter is turning the engine fast enough, then try replacing the condensor. Also check the little pigtail wire under the points plate. The problem could also be a bad ground connection from the battery.

: My 1930 4 door sedan has run fine ever since I bought it, until the last couple of times I've driven it. I noticed it was losing power up hills. Today it would not make it up a hill it normally went up in 2nd gear, until I downshifted to 1st, and even then I was praying. So I got home and checked the plugs. 3 were real dirty, but 1 was coated with 1/16th" caked on crud. I cleaned them good. I sanded lightly the points. Then tried to start it, and now it will not fire. While I have your attention can you help with problem #2? All lights have quit working. I can hear switch clicking, when I turn it to the off position, as it always has, but nothing is happening. Thanks, in advance for any helpful comments. Tom
