I was in agreement that the coils look pretty good, till you said they dripped. That is a sure clue that they are on their way out.

However, as well as I can see from the picture, those points don’t look too well. I’d suggest some conservative action before going for the coils. Take the points completely apart and degrease everything, then polish each contact individually. Reassemble and set gaps to 0.020″.

If it still gives trouble when warmed up. I’m afraid it probably is coils.
