This is why I don't want to take it back. I want to learn how to work on my own car. I guess at the end of it all...Its my car. If it blows up well I have to start again. I will be buying the tools you suggested.
That's a great attitude and there are a lot of guys on here who don't have it. They would rather just drop their cars off to "whomever" and take the chance that someone else knows how to work on a 50 plus year old car. It's becoming more and more difficult to find someone that actually knows old vehicles and the thing is, they are not difficult at all to work on.
I have a friend on town who owns his own truck repair shop. He couldn't set ignition points if his life depended on it. He calls me and I ride into town to look at any older vehicles he sees. He only takes them in because he knows I'll help. He's the absolute best heavy diesel mechanic I know. BIG Powerstroke and Cummins guy. VERY knowledgeable. In fact, I'd put him up against anyone in the entire state of Georgia, including the Atlanta metro area. He's that good. But a point type distributor will kick his ***. ........and he gets more than you might think LOL What's so hilarious is, I could teach him in 15 minutes what's goin on, but he doesn't want to know. LOL
