Jason - make double/triple/quadruple sure you're using the correct mark. I had exactly the same problem with my 77 F, I was all ready to take a round file to the slot in the points plate to make it longer by that 1 or 2mm that it needed. 2/3 timed perfectly, 1/4 wouldn't. I was positive I was using the correct mark, called my mechanic bro-in-law who said "check which mark you're using". So then I rechecked the mark, used the OTHER one... and VIOLA (or any other instrument), it worked, no filing required...
