[Roadsters] Thanks for the input - so if I try and start it...

[Pete Peters]

Don't just start throwing money & parts at it. Get the car running first,
then drive/evaluate to determine needs/desires.

1. EI dizzy highly recommended. However, car should still start with
existing points system.
2. ???
3. You need to figure out why the car is overheating as it may not be the
radiator. A newer or 3-row recore won't hurt, but if the existing radiator
is good, why spend the money?

thanks all for the input, once again..  I am heading to the auto shop this
evening to get my basket full of goodies to give it a shot tomorrow.  This
does beg three additional questions.

1.)  Recommend getting the EI Dizzy and replace the points one that I have?
2.)  Currently have the old design oil filter, upgrade to a modern oil
filter?
3.)  Have the orginal radiator (I think 2 core) upgrade to something newer?

Thanks again.  Oh and for the ones wanting to know if I want to sell it
(cheap), I have had the car since college (about 20 years) so I would like
to keep it :-)
