At last, I completed the tune-up on my '71. Had a bad vac advance and had to order that part. Got it at last and was able to complete everything. Boy, does that ever make a difference. Instant throtle response and it will get on down the road. When I got the car it would bearly get out of its own way. I know it is only a 1.7 but, considering that, it will move it right on out.
