While doing a tune up a cap and rotor is suggested along with a valve adjustment.
As suggested, don't make adjustments to the fuel injection unless you have a manual and understand the system.

Thanks I will check the thermostat at the mfi pump. Probably best to just replace it as I'm sure it is original.
Anyone have the point gap or dwell numbers handy? Also need to check the timing need those specs to and is it checked with or without vacuum to the advance?
