Good Morning...Take in all the advice above and follow it closely. Take your time. Do check your distributor and carburetor to make sure they are clean and ready to work. Check the little wire from the bottom of the distributor to the plate...many a car was put to sleep because that wire shorted to the case and the owner did not know to check it. Prehaps not necessary but I normally purchase a good quality new coil and condenser...just for piece of mind. Work through the electrical system, cleaning and tighting and looking for any wire that is bare do to the covering rotting off. Enjoy the old girl...Ernie in Arizona
