Flying Valiant Project
Finally something new to report!
I recently scooped up a used electronic distributor on eBay for a pretty fair price. It came with new 7mm spark plug wires made right here in the good ol' U.S. of A. It's in pretty good shape for used. Charrlie_S recommended that I check for side to side play in the rotor and up and down play in the gear. I'm pleased to say there was none of the former and only the tiniest motion in the latter (which I'm told is acceptable).
I don't know if this matters or not, but I found these numbers on the metal plate near the vacuum advance.

If anything, this gives me a dizzy to practice on, and it gets me one step closer to an electronic ignition system. That's going to be my project once I get The Flying Valiant back from Charlie's capable hands. I'm sure some of you have already heard about the compressor bracket he's having fabricated for early A-body sixes. It's a really cool bracket and will save any other slanters a world of hurt when trying to do an aftermarket conversion on their early A.
