Nice work and way to go

. Knowing how to do your own service goes a long way and the best way to learn is by doing.
I also remember the cardboard cans (I still have a couple of spouts myself), points, and tune ups (I still have all the tools), nowadays you talk about dwell and people look at you funny.
Now you realy want to date yourself how about cars with 4 wheel drum brakes hehehe Oh yea and how about mechamical brakes (non-hydraulic)
