A bad condenser can cause rapid burning of points, and so can a bad coil, so check your points carefully even if they are new.

Thank you all for the help. I will change the condenser, it is fairly new, but you never know. the coil is definitely going to be changed. I just need to find one with the bottom input.

just read your thread and saw where you said that you put a piece of sheet metal in where the heat riser is to keep heat off of intake.actually just the opposite will happen. its like having the heat riser stuck on all of the time. the stuck open heat riser may give you cold start issues but giving more gas will overcome that,however a stuck closed heat riser will kill car when hot by creating a vapor lock condition as gas will boil because of excess temp in carb area of intake. remove the metal and see if that doesnt help. you may have other problems. generally though points and condenors show up more on cold starts than hot. not saying they cant have hot issues but generally show up when engines are cold.
