The old lady lives on to die another day. I changed the coil (a Bosch unit), new set of high tension lead, Champion N9YC spark plugs, reconditioned distributor (a whole set replaced), new air filter, engine oil change and a wee bit of tweaking done to the carburetor. I got it running (short distances) for quite sometime and the engine sounds sweet again. Forgot to mention that I also changed the middle silencer/muffler (a straight flow unit) coupled with a 124 rear silencer/muffler (could not find a 131 unit) with chromed tailpipe. Sweet.
Note: I've modified the radiator core to an aluminum 3 hole in-line unit, took out the original fan motor and replaced it with a Jap piece, modified the spare tank and the window washer tank.
Photos to be posted later.
