More work on evaluating engine today, changed the HEI cap and rotor, along with spark plug wires. The old cap and rotor was burned pretty bad. Wires where from 4K to 24K ohms. Pics of the HEI cap removed below. The coil housing looked like it had the factory inspection mark- a yellow dab of paint.

The drive following the above changes was much better today, engine ran much better/smoother, I feel more confident in driving it further away from our house now.

Starts very easily, has some lifter noise at start-up, however, goes away after warming up. Still has exhaust leak, more evident when driving. Looks like new exhaust system soon.

Next project is cleaning/painting rally wheels, current thinking is to go with 275x60x15s on 8 inch wheels and about 4.5+ inch BS.
