So a 44 year old car with just 80,000 miles. Only 1,888 miles per year. The poor thing wants to be driven!

Has it been stored for a long period, or driven some each year?

Pop off the cap, and the rotor, is the grease in there still something that moves around or has it turned to rock?

I would recommend at the least rotate the engine to TDC 1 and line the rotor up to the mark and pull the distributor to replace the o-ring. And then check out the condition of the distributor carefully.
