Re: Replacing some older ignition parts, couple questions

Stick with what the car came with. You can never go wrong then. Copper has better heat transfer, put platinum lasts longer. My 78 Eldorado came with copper, my 97 Caddy came with platinum.

Re: Temp gauge install

Thought of getting a laser thermometer? Just to verify it is actually 220?

Re: A/C only blowing out of lower openings

I had a similar problem once with a 76 Seville. The actuators in the dash work by vacuum. Took me a long, long time to figure everything out. You might have to check the actuators, and also check if you do get vacuum to them.

72 Toronado at Pull a Part

A 72 Toronado just showed up at the Atlanta South Pull a Part. Bit far for me, but someone might want to go have a look.

Re: Overheated front brakes
