Last thing before paint
 

Everything done to get the 31 to the paint shop tomorrow except new points and condenser. Got the new ones for a Mustang fron O'reily's. Complete junk! NAPA can't get the good ones until tomorrow afternoon. Guess I'll just go mow the grass. Rant over.

Thought this would be a final wet sand question. Bob

Whats wrong with the old points? If they are not obviously bad then they are fine. People replace their points way too much with no reason.

The only condenser to get is the burn out proof one.

The points looked like they had been filed several times. One of the hold down arms had been cut off to make them fit inside the housing. Time for new ones from NAPA this time.
