Thanks for the invite, skunk! I'll have to get back to y'all about that weekend. I'm currently in Waukesha, WI for a T-bird convention. My a** is kinda sore from the 1100-mile drive. Y'all will be proud to know that I changed a distributor all by myself at a friendly AutoZone outside Springfield, MA. The joint between the vacuum-advance lever and the magnetic pickup broke. Took me three friggin' hours (forgot to align the oil-pump drive prior to pulling the old dizzy out ). Glad I don't do this for a living---I'd be beyond broke!
