    Spun the motor up pretty good a few weeks ago and blew up the distributor cap and rotor. Now it has a back fire / misfire like 1500-3k RPM's. Probably broke something in the points? I might swap to an HEI distributor and see if that fixes it.

    That's an intersting one. Points are simple but the HEI dist. is a pretty solid upgrade.

    I ordered an HEI and new ignition coil last night.

    Ignition shit is sorted. Little piece of metal floating around in the points screwing everything up. Put a new HEI in it and away we go.

    Broke a rear trans mount, replaced both yesterday. The motor has slowly been shifting down and rear word to the point the distributor was leaning on the firewall. I should have done this months ago, really happy with how the motor and trans sits in the chassis now.

    My headers are shot. They're next on the list.
