Well, maybe not all the way just yet, but still, I gotz fire! I pulled the distributor assembly today and replaced the points, condenser, rotor, cap and wires. Special thanks to NoFuel’s Dad for the pointers on setting the point gap and all. Looking back now, it really wasn’t as hard as I thought is was going to be.

Still, I think I have some injector issues. I re-plumbed the upper fuel lines with honest to goodness fuel injection hose. A pain, but it had to be done. After getting everything back together I tried cranking it with some starter fluid, and it coughed to life. Maybe just for a second or two, but the fire was back, and it sounded good.

I went ahead and ordered a set of injectors and trigger points. I’ve come this far, why not have a completely new fuel and ignition system? I think it’ll be best in the long run.

The worst thing is I can still smell the ether from the starter fluid.
