Little sister's 76 VW bus is kicking my ass!
Reader's Digest version:

It wouldn't start.
Added relay to put battery straight to coil, made it start and run
New flamethrower coil, it ran awesome
Changed plugs and cap, now it won't run above idle.
Put old plugs back in, runs slightly better.

Verified points opening, condenser looks new, Verified firing order, spark looks a bit weak.

I'm at a loss. Tomorrow I'll re-verify firing order at compression stroke #1 cylinder.
