Didn't see your reply before doing it. Used the stained glass soldering iron to splice in scavenged power cord, now it's long enough. The cig lighter is not hooked up, too lazy to fix that. Better to go off the battery anyway, correct?
30 x 9.50 R15, why?
Wouldn't start the other day. Neighbor who is a retired ADOT mechanic diagnosed the HEI ignition module was dead. Replaced, still didn't fire up. Decided to just replace the whole distributor, plugs and wires. There was corrosion in the terminals, and rotor brass things were sort of fried looking. Despite being mechanically challenged, did 95% of it. My friend dialed it in and timed it. Had a heck of a time getting the different length wires sorted out, ended up with one too short, Auto Zone traded for a longer one.
Neighbor looked at the old spark plugs, said it's not burning oil. Since I can't really afford putting a modern engine in, will play this game long as possible.
