Not on the first attempt though, so I picked up new plugs, distributor cap, rotor, condenser, and points. A little gas down the carburetor, waited a few minutes, and the truck fired up. My 17 year old gave me the best hug, and 15 year old could not stop talking about helping gap the points. Relationships and teaching my kids (at the same time that this forum and YouTube are teaching me) are why I took on this project.
We took a celebration ride around the block.
Now that I know it runs the next step is re-read for the 20th time about the 12-volt conversion process, and investing in some parts and favors from friends.
