Yes they have been plated )sealed off) already by last owner, who reverted to that to solve the problem. He tried to make the progressive linkage work, but the car would not idle right, it ran OK once going faster. He ran out of money and gave up LOL. He did not have money really and that is why he sold the car when he moved to Northern CA. he couldn't keep it financially. Anywhoo, this is WAY down on my list of "to do" things but I like to start investigating ahead of time so i am ready when the funds are.

Engine runs good, never stalls. It does seem to idel a bit rough (possibly - but not sure) and may be eating up too much gas (about 10 to 12 miles per gallon). Otherwise powerful and pretty fast.
