Update:

I Removed the spark plug wires, cap, and rotor. I've added a new cap and rotor, as well as laid out the spark plug new wires. Tomorrow I'll cut, crimp, test ohms, install and start the car. Then on to the wiring.

I was disappointed to find a fair bit of corrosion inside the distributor. Photos attached. What do you think?

Any opinions on dual crimp vs. traditional crimp spark plug wire terminals?

Also, this morning I checked out the M&H engine harness and compared it with my wiring diagram from www.classiccarwiring.com. I was confused to see a black wire in the #6 terminal location of the engine harness bulkhead connector, as this is shown as empty on the wiring diagram. See attached photo.

When I checked the wiring diagram from the manual, this black wire is for the heater motor. But, on the www.classiccarwiring.com diagram, the heater motor is run somewhere else through a relay. My heater does work and there is nothing in the #6 terminal location. Any comments?
