Assuming your engine is still as I remember it--basically stock, running
well, but 40+ years old.
You just have a starter problem right now. But while you're at it, you
want to do the timing chain. Wilkinson is exactly right--it makes sense to
do the water pump at the same time. But then there's the cam, and
distributor, and it really should have a valve job, and the compression is probably
low so it could use rings, and of course you'd do bearings, but while
you're there, why not just do the whole damn thing?
Slippery slope, in other words. :>)
