The fellow I bought it from had put in new plugs and HT wires. I checked these and they seem good. I have no idea of the age of the distributor cap, but it shows no signs of moisture or cracking.
I will have to look at the choke and the AAP diaphragm. And maybe replace a few more hoses. I would also like to rebuild that carb -- just so I know it's in top running order.
Thanks, everyone for all the useful info.
