Hi Tom..

All the carbs are closing properly.. std trans, so no modulator line.  
Yes, still have points.  Today I'm going to inspect the balance tube 
hoses and double check all the other vacuum hoses.  It has also been 
suggested that I verify static timing and point gap, which I will also 
do...  your idea of removing and capping the secondaries is something 
that I might try after all of the above...  thanks for the suggestions...
