[Ray in La Mesa]

The plugs are a great idea. I have closed another hole that allows moisture into the distributer, the slot for the top plate arm the spark advance rod goes to, it's huge and allows moisture directly in to corrode the points. I cut a piece of inner tube large enough to cover the hole and cut a slot in it for the arm & it's movement. I then unhooked the rod and slid it over the arm and contact cemented it to the outside of the distributer upper body. If your A lives outside like our "yard art" on the front lawn does, this will keep it starting regularly.
