Spooch,

How long have you been at this hobby? You haven't learned yet that these cars only exist to keep us 'humble' ?

Out driving on a dark & stormy night in a Roadster with side curtains that keep only some of the rain out AND with a single tail lite ? You were thinking what ??

Ignition is your problem son? Buy a professionally rebuilt ignition switch, a new coil, a 'new' distributor and follow the book about wiring it up.

After 55 years in the hobby (slow learner) I've come to the conclusion that we shade tree mechanics grossly over estimate our own abilities while shorting the geniuses who designed & built these cars new.

My $.02, hopefully your mileage WILL vary.
