Hey Maples, I had a 66 Ford p/u and stripped the part that the screw goes into for the points. Parts store had the part, but this was 30 years ago. Maybe get the part from wrecking yard.

Dropped off the dodge with my mechanic while I travel the next few days. Hopefully he'll get the 1406 carb and 2176 manifold installed before I get back.

I wanted to tackle this project myself, but time is slipping away and as the legendary Kenny Rodgers once said "you got to know when to..."

Junkyard here crush everything older than 20 years it seems, won't be finding anything with points, I hate that I can't find a 69-74 Econoline in a junkyard, I could use several things. I have an HEI distributor to drop in my 302, have resisted due to requiring a rewire to the ignition, since the factory wire has a resistor in it, removal of it is impossible, unless you would like to strip the wiring harness to find it, I'm trying to get by till I get the nerve up.
BTW anyone wanting to install a relay headlamp harness, don't get a cheap one, mine has failed yet again, the relays are good, but lights won't come on dim, this is the second time this has happened, not sure the cause this time as last was corroded relays.

Well, the '93 had a loose/floppy tilt column so I dug into it earlier in the week.
Tightened and secured those four little tork-headed bastards..... mad
Then put in back together.
UGH! chevy

Then changed out the OP sending unit, changed oil/filter and began flushing the brown water from the cooling system.
Anybody who neglects the cooling system in Georgia (say Jawga) is one sunny day away from being a pedestrian. cool
