Go figure. Back in the day had a timing light, dwell/tac meter, Ignition file, grease gun, etc.

Some of the important tools you need to maintain a car back then.

Now, I still have a full toolbox, compressor, air tools, jack, stands, creeper, etc. but all that ignition and lubrication stuff was gotten rid of years ago as cars changed.

Now I gotta buy it all over again...

 

There are decent deals for that stuff on Ebay. I've been using a Craftsman dial back timing light, Craftsman tach/dwell meter like the links below for 45+ years that I bought as a kid. Any hand grease gun will work.

And something like this for adjusting your points

 

I will be glad to see Jan 1st , 2021 . Because 2020 will be hindsight then .

 

And it will still be kicking our hind end...

 

Appreciate the links, thanks Eric

Tool Rule #1: Thou shalt not throw out any tool unless it's FUBARed.

I think you'll fall right back into using and enjoying them once you have them again.

Am I the only one who got the crap shocked out of me using that points adjusting tool?😳😵

 

You are so right, my friend. I found out that a Pertronix was added to my distributor, so no adjusting points for me right now.
