I replaced my points along with rotor, distributor, coil wire and plugs on my 29 CPU last weekend. I also re-set the timing for the first time. I was anxious to see any improvement in the performance of the engine. But, not so much to my own surprise, it wouldn't start. No fire to any plug...

Got pulled over last night by the police for having only one tail light on my 29 pickup. I told the police officer that the truck come with only one tail light but he said I have to have two. I looked the statute and found that I was correct, but, I could use more brightness out of the stock...
