Spent a little bit of time getting BOB running nicely.
When driving down from Bundaberg (4 hour trip) things didn't seem 100%. Stalled a couple of times.
Turned out this was probably just the remnants of the 2-year old fuel.
Nevertheless i ordered all new ignition parts and some iridium plugs on 25% discount.
Plugs went in first with new cap and rotor arm. Not a huge difference to be seen.
Couple of weeks later changed points and condensor. Suddenly a lot of the lumpiness at idle smoothed out and there was a noticeable power increase. Dwell angle still spot on, but I think the old points were never alligned perfectly.
I'm getting another mile per gallon and have a new improved top speed. Bonus!
Got the wheel alignment sorted by the local tyre guy, too. He worked wonders and the car's handling much better now.
