Be aware for those running points that you are bypassing ballast resistor so do not run this way for too long as will eventually cause point damage if you are running same. If all is now well,,,then check all ignition wiring from ignition switch forward to determine if bad switch, wiring, connectors etc, is cause of the erratic idiocyncratic conditions you are experiencing. Weak or irregular electrical input to coil can cause a wealth of mysterious consequences.
