Down time

So the wagon hasn't run in a long time. I suspect the distributor. It was getting harder and harder to start, and when it would eventually start, it idled like crap, but at speed, it ran fine. When it wasn't starting, it was acting like it was either getting no fuel or no spark, but it has both. I noticed that when it would eventually start, if I messed with the distributor, it would run more smoothly. I opened it up and the inside of it looked like a nightmare. Filthy and grimy. I cleaned it all up, but it didn't seem to help too much. I bought new points for it, only to remember that you need a special tool to install points correctly. So it sits. Again.

I'll probably take it to Le-Toy Motorsports this coming week. Le-Sigh.

Kuma-XL and I have been talking about a V6 swap into the wagon. Now that would be nice. My first choice is a 3800 series V6 and tranny from a late model Firebird/Camaro. Cheap, reliable, and 200hp. Easily had with wiring harness, ECU and all peripherals for $500 on eBay.
