Widening the point gap increases the dwell so something is causing the point gap to increase over time. Did you replace the condenser? Is there any play in the distributor shaft bushings?
Dave has it backwards here. ;)
Dwell is the amount of time (measured in degrees of crank rotation) that the coil has to saturate between firings.
Ie. widening the gap DEcreases dwell angle.
But I would replace the condeser too! :)
