Re: 7 tooth retainer clip
I measured 17mm ID. But found only 18mm or 16mm ID. I ordered both. 16mm was too small. 18mm looks good.

Re: 7 tooth retainer clip

Re: Loss of power,
I could not decide on original points, or modern. I read plenty of posts about original points working as expected. And no need for modern unless the condenser keeps burning up. I may buy a set of...

Re: Loss of power,
Champion plugs. I pulled #1 plug on the side of the road. It was light Grey color. No moisture.

Re: Radiator, no overflow tube
