The coil was bad. Got worse and worse, and since I didn’t have a spare somewhere I could think of, had to buy one, buy a wire replacement kit (because Lucas style screw top coil being replaced), and after three parts stores stopped at, drive 40 minutes to deliver/oversee repairs.
Good thing too, because I noticed he wasn’t starting *this* time because he was out of gas. HURR
Anyway:

Safely got my four wheeled nuisance to his company’s car show and got to show off the Galaxie for about ten minutes. Nothing crazy there - two Scouts, one late 70s c3, second gen mr2, late 60s chevtruck.
