  it original. But, as far as internals go, what should I do? It runs well as is. Did cars in 1967 still run on leaded gas? If so, what do I need to do to convert it over to unleaded?

  My car pulls left, then other times pulls right... if i hold the steering wheel tightly the car will go straight which leads me to believe the actual tracking is straight... but something else is bent/moving/shifting to cause the car to want to pull either left or right. Along

  and it was fine.... again, until I stopped for about half an hour and within a mile had gone again. If I wait a few minutes, it starts again and often drives as normal, as if nothing has happened.

  warm. It has just had new plugs and HT leads but this hasn't made any difference. The distributor cap was dusty but this has been cleaned out and it has no signs of cracking. The pins in the distributor cap do show signs of wear but they are all intact. The rotor arm is a little rough but intact
