/6 Idling Problems
From my experience... New points and stuff for a worn out distributer was a waste of coin. After adjusting valves, rebuilding carb and everything else I could think of, the idle still changed on an almost hourly basis.
When I finally bought a reman'd distributer it came with new parts. It was like dipping that old car in the fountain of youth too.
This was back when autozone was autoshack. i made them get me 3 different distributers before I got one that had nearly zero play in the shaft / point gap.
