Pat and Rick.. thank you so much. No local parts so ordered from Summit and got them this morning. When I removed the old one I found out just how brittle those magnets are. Scraped out all the old silicone and cleaned everything up. I managed to get a hex key into the bolt heads without taking out the distributor, but what a beach of a time. Installed the new pickup and made sure I had a good gap, about .026, and snugged everything down. Looking at the bottom of the rotor I saw the round and square pegs, so thank you Rick. Damn glasses are a must now I guess, and I'm being much more patient with this darn learning curve of every new project or task. Connected wires, crossed my fingers and turned the key. WHAT A GREAT SOUND!!!!!!! IT"S ALIVE!!!!! sounding smoother than before and fired right up.
I'll reinstall the steering column in a few and tuck all the wires back up under the dash. Looks like I might just make a local show this weekend. My thanks again and it's guys like you that make this site work so well. Peter says hi Pat and he wouldn't give up any info on the wife's slabside. Murray
