THANK YOU Gentlemaen, as always.
Have just had this car a litler over a week now. Don't have time tomess with it til weekends.
Replacing the points has helped significantly. I have a new fiel pump, set of plugs, and new fule filter just in case.
Will do the fuel filte and plugs next.
Then next Sat plan to take it to a friends "Ford shop" to check over all timing, carb etc.
These points do have a hole in the distributor for an allen wrench to reach in and adjust the points while running. They even provide a feelers gauge, the allen wrench, and instrctions on how to adjust the points till the engine idles rought and then go in the opposite direction.
At keast I am going in the right direction and hav had a significnt improvement in performance so far. Thanks all! (won't be quiting my day job!) cn
