It was just a thought. So your generator light and oil light are on when you turn the key before you start it up? Could it be a bad condenser on the distributor? I know they can go bad, but can they be off and on flakey?

Jack/Dan,

Feel free to give me a call. You've got my numbers. I'm happy to help you talk it through over the phone and maybe ship you some small parts if need be (condenser?). Let's get this thing going for Litchfield!

-Stan
