Don't install electronic ignition untill you've solved the existing problem else you'll have to troubleshoot two systems instead on one. If it fires up after cooling down, there may also be a problem with the spark coil.

Clutch-brake pedals through the floor are also accompagnied by a lot of dirt into the pedal pivots. While getting this old car road worthy it is advisable to remove the pedal bracket assembly for disassembly, cleaning, and lubrication of the pedal pivots. I once had the pedals freeze up because of dirt and corrosion in the pivots.
