I thought welder is the machine and weldor is the operator. Bob

 

It's not the standard since they are verbally the same.

AWS uses welder vs. welding machine as a result.

 

You are correct!

Is it a magneto or distributor ignition? Either way I would keep the points. As for k&n or oil bath? Oil bath wins for several reasons, one is no reason for k&n and two, the originals are worth about $200 used iirc and they work. Did you get the carb heater? I'm missing the part that hovers the manifold but I've got the hose. I have magneto and wouldn't want distributor.

 

Insaneride, It has a distributor, the condenser and points are roached. I like keeping the oil bath, its free and K&n is like 60 bucks. The carb heater (the tube above the manifold?) is there just need a band clamp. the rubber hose is there as well. The more I look at it it looks like a low hours machine. I pulled the round dish off and looked at the commutator and it needs cleaning but not worn.

 

Put some points and conditions in it, fire it up. Keep the original air cleaner. Run it a while then it wouldn't hurt to put electronic in. I have seen problems with the Prestolite, all of a sudden die and need new points. If I was hanging on with it would keep a set in the glove box.

 

Oil bath all the way, all kinds of reports on K&N filters passing dirt in all types of engines.
Prestolite electronic conversion, kits are $60-100 , when is the last time you had an ignition problem with a modern day car. And then it's usually a coil pack.
