I agree, spark test. I have seen a condenser do this too, like Tony has.
Also do the spark test right after it is running so you can see the
difference in spark when it will not start. Get a baseline so to say.
"It has new points, plugs, Spark plug wires"
Was this done as routine maintenance or trying to fix this problem?

> Okay - When it won't start, what do you do? Have you checked for spark - at that exact point in time?? Pull the coil wire off the cap center and hold it near a ground, and crank. If you find a good spark, have you looked down the carb to see if you have a pump-shot out of the accelerator discharge. If you have a good spark, and fuel out of the pumps, it should start.

If I let the fuel pump run for 5 seconds, no start.? Run the fuel pump for 15 seconds, no start,? 1 minute, no start, 2 minutes, no start.? After attempting this routine, I let the car sit for 2 hours, then it starts right up and runs within 3 seconds and runs great. It stars right up again after it has been running but if I shut it off for 10 minutes, like when filling up at a gas station, it cranks but wont start.? Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes, sometimes a while longer, it usually starts.? It has new points, plugs, Spark plug wires. Any Ideas?
