Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

You will never be in a high speed chase, learn how to set points and keep them lubbed and watch heel wear...or get a dwell meter/ dwellometer. Oh and have a multi meter in the car, to check for electrical issues.

Keep a decent quality brand dizzy cap, distributer arm, couple sets of points, and a few condensors. Keep two points and condensors in the landie and somewhere where they won't rattle around as that just makes a really annoying noise. This will keep the the magic smoke inside stuff.

Learn where all the grease nipples are and get a decent grease gun with a long clip on flexi for all the correct greases.

Oh and I would recommend fitting a removable key isolator switch in a hidden place either like this battery isolator switch removable standard key or Durite keyed battery isolator Also fit a unconnected switch on the dashboard to fool thieves.
