If this car has electronic ignition, there should be a metal control box somewhere ( left front fender area? ) I don't know what this specific car should have.
If the electronic box failed and was rewired to standard ignition, the capacitor is needed. And, if it was rewired, make sure the ballast resistor is on the positive side of the ignition coil.

I've sanded / filed points to make things run. The trick is to make the surface smooth. When you do replace the points, clean them with rubbing alcohol or similar. Sometimes they have a coating to preserve them.
