Well I took a fairly good running motor and removed the distributor and carb, plus all hoses. Now I have swapped the points for Electronic Ing from Pertronics. When I removed the hoses the rust was everywhere, I believe from the metal in the hoses. So I going to flush and replace with molded. I also found all the header bolts were 1/4 to 1/2 turn loose except 1 that was missing. Now it cleaning and sanding to prepare for some Ford Blue Engine enamel paint. After that replace all hose and clamps. I have heard to widend the gap on spark plugs to .044. I would replace but they are NGK and appear to be new. I also swapped the stock coil for a Flame thrower. One last thing my friend came over and saw that I had the carb upside down on the bench for inspection. He claims that I ruined it by doing this. Is this for real?
