Best idea is to grab a can of WD-40, a roll of paper towels and a flat blade #2 screwdriver and your favorite engine degreaser and a pocket full of quarters and head to the quarter car wash and clean the engine and engine compartment as well as you can. WD-40 and towels and screwdriver are to dry the inside of the distributor cap out if it gets condensation in it. get it good and clean and start checking closely .

I've got a 68 292 that ran great but was given to me because in a 180 mile road trip it leaked more oil than it used gas dollar wise. The guy bought the truck drove it home and pulled it in the garage and did an engine swap. That one is going in my 48.
