Next time, just remember that the mixture screws are usually backed about 1.5 turns from bottomed out as a starting point, and you usually want around 8-10 degrees initial advance, with maybe 30 or so total. Throw that points ignition away and get a modern elecronic replacement - costs about $30 US and is much less of a hassle than remembering a .065" point gap (setting dwell is more of a pain).

Use an open book of matches to gap the points and the rough striker part to clean the contacts. That should get you to the store to get the electronic replacement ;-) I've been using PHPMyAdmin for awhile and find it a great tool. I would definitely recommend it. Besides, it's not like you can't use more than one tool. Louis
