I am in agreement with both Tim and Bill in regard to all points cited and wil add a couple further notes. Whenever you change out ( replace ) the distributor rotor, cap, or plug wires retain the oldies until the newer items are thoroughly checked out in service. I have had experience with confounding ignition trouble due to the most minute, barely visible fault with a rotor. Also, you may find it impossible to engage any gears with the engine running, car at rest, indicating that the clutch disc is bonded to the flywheel by rust. This is not uncommon at any point, probably most prevalent in moist climates. We'll talk you through freeing that up if needed. Great car for the discerning driver, worth the cost and effort to see it made right.
Cheers
Steve
