So the points were bad - and I changed the points, cap, rotor and spark plugs at the same time.
I forgot how much harder it was to set the points on a Ford vs. a GM car where the distributor cap has that trap door so you can adjust the points with the engine running while looking at the dwell meter. With the Ford you have to get the points as close as you can with a feeler gauge, then put the cap back on, start up the engine, look at the dwell meter, and repeat until you get it right. I got it on the third try, and it was running good, but the idle was a little high, then while I was adjusting that I noticed it was leaking fuel where the fuel filter attaches to the carburetor. I went to tighten it and it broke off in the carb, see pic...  I'm going to watch a little TV, go to sleep and deal with it later...
