I have an original Ford ballast on order it will be going in as soon as it arrives. Don't want to mess up that newly rebuilt Haney coil nor mess with the points and timing more often than I have to. At this point I have the rebuilt coil, tested good condenser, new NGK plugs, wires from Brillman for original distributor, cleaned ignition switch, rotor, points and inner caps that look like they were all new 3700 miles ago. My only concern is one inner cap is an Argentine replacement with aluminum contacts and one is an old stock unmarked service part with brass terminals. I'd like them both to be the same for fear of uneven electrical transfer. Going to look for a single to match up with the brass one.


Posts aren't much fun without pictures so here is one just for the fun of it.
