I spent some time this morning working on getting the bumper uprights to thread onto the bolts and finally got them to 'thread'. I had to grind the uprights to get them to fit and then primed and painted the raw edges so will wait to finish the installation. What a PITA, they will look nice but hopefully won't look out of place with the old bumpers.
Getting the engine ready to start involves cleaning the distributor and fixing it, the wires were frayed and would have likely failed if we would have left it alone. So it was removed, cleaned and lubricated with replacement of the questionable components including points.

| Very dirty, crusty distributor |

| Apart and preparing to clean it, crud was thick and baked on |

| As the body of the dizzy looks after cleaning |
 |
| Checking the vacuum advance capsule and making sure that it works smoothly |
 |
| Dizzy back in it's proper position |
