Oh...the broken things are a given, being the vacuum advance & gasket having
priority (in that order).  I was just curious as to if, since I was replacing
things anyway, if the other stuff should be a worthwhile consideration (space
when replacing carb, ignitor when replacing v.a., etc).  Those questions have
now been answered as well.

Thanks to you all.
