Moving on,
I ordered a pertronix electronic distributor model to get rid of the points and condenser. It works great and was very easy to install despite some bad directions. Now the truck idles a whole lot better and runs even smoother, especially on the highway.
The only picture I took was the old points and condenser, incase something went wrong.
I also had time to install the "new to me" valve cover.
Hand painted the letters (i'm a little rusty, hadnt picked up a brush in 3 years)
I think the motor is pretty clean for it's age. 97,000 original miles.
