Cheap contemporary ignition components are also suspect, especially capacitors; get your replacements from a known source and a name brand. There are reports that some currently available inner tubes are questionable. I personally had a bad experience with a new aftermarket oil pump I installed in my last rebuild. It would not produce oil pressure up to factory specifications, and I ended up solving the problem by replacing it with a good used Ford pump. The list goes on and on. There is a lot of knowledge and experience on this forum, so if you are in doubt, just ask.
