A cheap little vacuum gauge will tell you a lot. Also, I don't see the hose for the PVC. On mine I think it is coming out from under the filter area. Also, you need to test to see if the vacuum advance diaphragm has broken by sucking on the line to the distrib. And like Rusty63 says, you need to check and set or just replace points and condenser. Check the coil with an ohm meter. -BA
