Wait...... so the point gap was .020" when the "S" was in the window? If so, that is not right. The point contact should just break when the "S" at the mark. If this is correct, you need to readjust the points.

Do it like this:

That may be the issue....
Set it first and go from there. I could take the engine a while to really fall on it's face with timing issues, and it definitely would change as engine temp changes. Still think it sounds like it has a fuel starvation issue.
