Sorry folks,
Once I got home, I changed the condenser, points (gaped correctly), rotor,
cap, wires, plugs (gaped correctly, checked twice.) coil, flushed the
cooling system, replaced the heater control valve. Additionally, I've
replaced terminal bush and lead from the rotor to coil and connecting wire.
I can't think of anything else.
Mike, your tickets our on the way...
