JW - thanks, and yes it was a ton of questions at once. I figure they are all kind of interrelated, so might as well ask all at once. I'll pull the ceramic element and see how it goes. I'd like to replace with an easy-to-source paper filter if possible.

Ken - What's the best way to access those bolts? I've been looking at them and I can't fit any of my tools onto them because the distributor is in the way. I was assuming that the main part of the distributor could be removed, then I would have clear access to those bolts. I guess not.

Thanks for the link to the tune-up page. I have it and have used it for the things I've done so far (plug gaps, timing, etc). I also have a Motor's manual for my year, which has helped some. Lots of info to dig through though.

My neighbor has a vacuum gauge, just wasn't sure where to put it. I do have a line going to the wipers, so I guess that's where I'll put the tee. Probably need to get the distributor set firmly before screwing with the vacuum though.
