Getting things sorted out on the car, new positive battery cable, new battery,plugs,drained old gas ,checking things over and cleaning. Car will start but not stay running.noticed the two vacuum lines to the wur cracked, replaced those then the ignition switch decided it was done. It was getting difficult to engage the starter so I knew it was on its way out. Will have a new switch in a couple days and get back at it.

Local battery shop made it up, I removed the sheathing from the old wire and used heat shrink to secure it to the new wire.

Looks sharp. Most of the stuff I can source locally is wrapped in clear. I like what you've done.
