thanks for the response. The points had a short screw but I wondered if adding a flat washer under the lock washer would have stopped the bracket moving problem.
Regarding the plug wires, I just remember in the old days that touching a plug wire or coil wire has shocked me and I worried that being too close or touching metal or touching each other could cause the wire to short out but maybe they make better insulated wires than they used to. It might have been my old 57 chevy that taught me to use insulated pliers when troubleshooting with plug wires while it is running.
The tank issue is hopefully the final fix from this summer when I acidized the tank to get rid of the rust. It still makes a little rust though. After I bought the IH original sediment bulb it never would completely shut off and gas would slowly leak out thru the carb over a period of time and gas isn't cheap anymore. I don't have an air cleaner on the carb which is another project coming up. The factory sediment bulb had an extension that would stick up into the tank a little ways that probably kept the very bottom of the tank from draining into the bowl. I had added a piece of window screen folded and wrapped around it and held with small aircraft safety wire which then stuck up into the tank about an inch. When I took it out, it had some large particles of rust in the folds and some in the tank I flushed out. If the 2" nipple and cap below the tee doesn't catch all the rust, then I can still remove the tee and insert a cone shaped piece of window screen into the nipple going into the tank to serve as a screen. Just thought I mention this for the others who are having problems with rusty tanks.
