oops! I forgot to include pics in the previous post but it's a rather moot point at this stage of the game as I have been to the dealer and picked up a meter of small vac line and installed it.

The car is back together and is running very nice! The spark plugs I pulled out of it were pretty well shot and gapped at ~ .050! It just purrs and is very responsive at the throttle as it had gotten to where it would oft times hesitate slightly, sometimes completely stumble and backfire.

I'm kinda surprised at the relative good condition the old harness is in - I mean, it's NOT visibly crumbling or crackly sounding as I handle it. Perhaps it's a different story if one would cut away the outer 'tape binding'.

Thanks for your help and advice and now I am going to enjoy a nice ice-cold beer! Cheers

EDIT: BTW - If anybody is interested in the old harness for the ends, please PM me and we'll discuss details. Better do it quick as I tend to not allow stuff to lay around....just sayin'!
