Thanks Hamish. Everything is in very good nick - car starts and idles at 650RPM. Car runs terrific other than an ever so slight rhythmic drop in engine note pulling up a steep hill in 4th gear. Also, fuel mixture appears to be spot-on but, MPG's seem down about 10% (which could be many things). Thinking my 21 year old ignition wires could do for replacement, and while I am at it, renew spark plugs too. Then I realized I have not touched the ignition timing in the 23 years I've owned the car so, may check on that too.
I think I will start with setting plug gaps, then double check fuel mixture, then fine tune ignition timing.
