Hooked up the new harness tonight. Everything appears to be working now! No more low voltage issues! The new harness + the new connectors and a new ignition switch has seemed to breathe new life into the thing. I took a look a the ignition system and started taking the components off to see what to replace. Most of the stuff looks very good! I'm debating what to mess with / replace. The cap and rotor look brand new. The plug wires are old, but still appear very good. Points and condenser look okay - the points probably needs a piece of sand paper run between them, but they don't look worn. The only things that look worn is the coil wire (looks like it wasn't secured all the way and was arching), and the spark plugs which look dirty. I think I'll replace the wires and the plugs and see what happens. I don't have timing specs on the car, so I'm a bit reluctant to mess with the timing before I have a chance to see it with a timing lamp. I'll mark it of course before I move the distributor...
