Ditto with tcleaderman. The "BB" will get it started. The Vacuum gauge is your best friend. A dwell meter will let you know the point gap and coil are happy. (humor and opinion)Timing light? We don't need no stinking timing light. Honestly, a timing light(with the delay function) could be helpful when you want to know the "Total" advance, with the engine tuned. Useful when attempting to replicate when changing after a complete tuneup(points, condensor, cap, rotor, and plugs). But..I would still use the Vacuum gauge and leave the timing light for the more modern stuff. Just my 2 cents worth.
