I won't reuse it but it's good for reference I figured. Or if someone else some wants to go back to it later. I have an HEI-coil on distributor one wire, switching to a single wire alternator won't have an ECU. No AC car and rear defrost. This car can't get much simpler. My lights were doing bad things,. Often would not start and relay and starter battery cables all new. All that interlock crap was very old so hopefully this will cure that condition once and for all. Replacing column ignition switch as well while I do this. Oddly enough my turn signal switch was in great shape looked replaced. I had wires falling out of bullets if you scroll up and I had meltdown by headlight switch and dash when I got it open realized it has been getting wet for decades. Like many others told me you don't want to be on fire side of road get that out of there. I had hoped to save like you mentioned but realized it's not safe.
