Tank was in serviceable condition, but since I had it out I believe in prevention rather than trouble years from now when it'll be impossible to find someone who seals tanks, The way it was, there was no one in the town I live in, people look at you like your from Mars.

UPDATE. Changed the points/condenser and problem solved. I knew a good mechanic in 71 who could not get a car to run right no matter what he did... Common thing back then was to change the points but leave the condenser... After trying everything he knew in installed a new condenser, problem solved.. Your post ending made me think of this.....

Check the bulkhead wiring connectors (3)... After 50 years they get corroded and oxidized.. Pop them apart, burnish the contacts, recrimp the female tab conectors on the firewall side, coat with dia-electric grease and reinstall... Just my $0.02...
