Thanks for the links to parts and reading material, that's what I'm looking for. The coil is there, but the wiring is terrible so I'm redoing that. There is no floor, and no battery. I think i got a battery tray in the box of parts it came with.

Thanks for the compression info, I gave to track down an appropriate adapter for my gauge.

The rad hoses are cut, I'm gonna run some water through and see what comes out.

I was half joking. You just do not see burned valves and worn rings like you did in the old days. It is nothing for today's motors to be mechanically sound for over 300,000 miles. It is mind boggling for me though when I consider that someone in the repair business with 30 years experience may have never adjusted a set of points. I will readily admit that without the delete and backspace key I would not be able to type.
