Thanks Justin, its great to know there are resources out there who have been down the road before me. You were right on. I discovered the coil was an aftermarket beast so I put in an old one from my small stock of left over parts. I got some fire so I went on to do the plugs, cap, rotor and wires and now she starts right up. I would like to clean those triggering contacts but that back side screw has me hesitating...I'll no doubt get it out and then spend a week trying to get it back in!

For now I think I'll give the car a try on the road and putter away at that pesky vacuum leak I can hear.

Thanks again
