That is one hell of a nice car! That's a car you can have a lot of fun in. If it were mine, I'd already have 100 miles on it.

A few folks here got it right.

Clean the points with some emery and try starting it again.

Contact Michael Driskell at 3rd Gen in McMinnville for the distributor service. You will not regret it. He can also rebuild your fuel pump.

I'd go back to using the stock coil. Those adapters and goofy looking.

One other suggestion. I'd get rid of the modern gauges. Go back with the stock Ford Gauges. Also, find and original air cleaner. It'll make your car look even better.

Lastly, join the Early Ford V8 Club and bring the beauty to a National Meet. You'll have a blast.

Oh and drive this car!.
