Newbie with grounding problem

Got it started, it ran a couple times for about 20 -30 seconds and then died. What I found is that the cam that the points ride on can move up and disengage from the distributor shaft so it doesn't spin . I've looked at it a hundred times checking for spark and it always turned when I turned the motor over .But it must have been doing this off and on all along and I finally caught it.


Time for a distributor rebuild!
