    Got a few bugs worked out on my country sedan so I took it to work then to local car show. I had a blast driving it. I never realized how big of a hit wagons are at local shows! And the car made it home in one piece. Over the weekend i'm gonna install the pertronix kit so I don't have to deal with the points. :taz::banana::yippee:

    People are gravitating more and more to the wagons, it seems. I think they are tired of SUV's and Minivans and find the wagons refreshing, yet still realistic cars they can appreciate.

    Let us know how the Pertronix set up works for you.

    The Pertronix kit worked GREAT!!! Very easy to install Made a big difference. I got it for $62 shipped. I heard a ticking noise driving it back from show and Sunday morning. I removed the valve cover to discover a bent pushrod. I order 16 new ones should get them this week and I'll paint the valve covers since they're off the car. WHATS NEXT? I'm afraid to ask.
