Summer has arrived big time here in S-E Michigan, 82F today. Rolled the A out of winter hibernation yesterday. Turned on the gas, drained a little. And NO start, first time in 50 years that she didn't start on the first try. Panic! ... brain start swirling. Check the electrical, good, check the condenser , good, even brought out the Merctronic and tested the coil, good! ,,, lesson to be learned, Start with the simple stuff first. Points, dirty and much neglected, likely for years. Clean, polish and set .020 and all is good with the world , once again.
