Ran through the old posts. Dang! Got rid of that big-base rochester a long while back. The aluminum adapter was really very nice but didn't work out. Yes, carb icing is a real thing.

Have a small-base rochester on there now. Hey, no adapter! New tires. She's running good.

Recently had a notion to get rid of the points. Bought an ignition module, cap, rotor, wires and plugs. Everything worked great. Couldn't spin the distributor enough to get it tuned, vacuum advance pot hit the coil bracket.

Time for a new bracket. I guess.

Got timing between 5 and 10. Seems right. Runs well. Drove well. Quickly developed fuel leak during test run.

Must be a rochester thing.

The original coil bracket, if you're curious, can be seen here.
