More finagling with the car. I got the lower inner fenders, battery tray and battery installed and the wiring and hoses routed. Finally found an NOS power steering pressure hose and replaced the 38-year old original hose - it looked like it was seeping around the crimped fitting so its better to be safe than sorry.
Pulled it out in the driveway and then it wouldnt start - no spark. Turned out I burned up another set of points. I think I'll go back to a stock Delco ignition coil. The Pertronix FlameThrower coil seems to be flaming my Accel points every six months or so. And it was even the model they recommended for points ignitions.
