How many of us have been there and done that?

Man - old memories! How many people still know how to "rough set" points with a match book cover?

You should be able to follow the whole video series with the after-links at the end of each video, there are three parts. But just in case:



This is just a JOY to watch, isn't it?



To drive it out of the woods, now that is SO sweet

just ain't no stopping' it...

 

WOW !!! After all those years and things still work ! " and the little FORD will ramble right along " [from an old FORD advertising song ! ]

 

Great post Dutch! Yes, I know how to set points with a matchbook. Back in High School, a friend of mines Dad said he could get anything running with a screwdriver, 9/16" wrench, and a matchbook.

 

I still keep a book of paper matches in the glove box - but anymore it's just for luck.

I like the way those guys went step by step, working the mechanical first, following the ignition through the coil first THEN the points, and then moving on to fuel.
