Definitely check the distributor - I somehow had a 45D4 *points type*
distributor in my 67 Sprite - which apparently was never a Sprite
distributor (the M*dg*t had an electronic form for 1500s, I think). It was
exceedingly difficult to figure out where to set it as neither Haynes nor
the factory manual listed that configuration, and I couldn't get any
Pertronixs working with it, so I retired it in favor of a 25D4 as per stock.
