Threw in new points, condenser, and rotor, which made a big difference. Didn't set set the timing yet cuz I can't find my 6volt timing light. I might not even have it anymore. The shop manual shows how to static time the engine using a powered test light and I have the one I made for the Solxes, so I guess I'm still good.

Still need to do a vacuum test and plethora of other small things, just in time to park it for the winter. Found the cause of an annoying rumble on acceleration, the exhaust pipe was hitting the rear crossmember. Turns out it was a common problem and that there an was an aftermarket fix for it. Nine bucks on fleabay.

Looking at snow for Wednesday, and that means salt. Guess I will just wash and wax all the vehicles tomorrow and call it good.
