All,

I finally got time, a few minutes a day, actually, and got the distributor
back into the 68.  New wires, and a little gas, and it lit off.  After a
little warm-up stumbling, it settled down.  I set the timing, and factoring
out the badly leaking exhaust, it really sounds good.  Smooth idle, no
stumble on takeoff (though I only drove it about half a mile, very gently).
Regardless, this is closer to what I hoped for, and other than the time
spent really angry, only amounted to a good tuneup.

Brakes seem fine, but I want to have a look before I drive much.  Then
tires, and it may be ready to drive.  Lots of things to fix or tweak, but I
can.
