what are u worried about ?  not fat enough ? 1st cheap tune up tip/ clean the points up with wet and dry , then wash them with some solvent to get rid of any residue ,check all conections ,  2nd ,replace the condensor but stick it up under the tank with the coil ,much friendlier enviroment,  i use 6 cyl holden ones, 3rd, check plug cap ( mabee first step ) 4th/ stick a new coil in it ,  5th/ dissasemble the transmission and have the gear dogs underground so it doesn,t fall out of gear halfway through a section
