Yes sir, I wiped them down thoroughly before I put everything back in today. Everything is kosher from a thickness perspective. All is reinstalled with the exception of the cover itself and one spring. I’m pretty sure it’s for the kick and goes on the end of the kick shaft but I need to hunt it down. Generally, I’m a “no parts left over” kind of mechanic. I took a wire wheel to the cover today and will spend some elbow grease with some finer sand paper tomorrow, then maybe a shot of clear. I need to see what has the best heat tolerance. Maybe I’ll just let it patina. Haven’t decided just yet. If I have the time tomorrow I’m going to roll the back the other direction and put in new points and new condenser. After that it’s a starter rebuild. We’ll see. Just doing a thorough cleaning of the left side is going to take some time. I also need to walk around the edge of the right side with a dremel. There was a good bit of the old gasket just baked on, and I was having a hard time scraping it even with a straight edge. It’s probably the original.
