I know this post is old but I will say I am definitely going to to bookmark this for reference. You did an awesome job checking EVERYTHING. I have a similar issue and I too feel like I may have some weak spark. I did some initial checks as you have and didn't notice anything crazy out of whack. I ended up replacing most of the ignition just because I have no idea how old the components were and I really didn't mind having buying new stuff. I used either blue streak or NOS parts. I still feel like the spark looks a little weak and I too have trouble initially starting the car without giving it a shot of starting fluid. Once it clears its throat and warms up it actually revs pretty clean. I quickly installed a new condenser but really need to set the gap correctly with a fueler gauge. Hopefully that's my problem. Again good stuff and thanks for all the detail.
