An added bonus: The tach is now working accurately too, now that the coil voltage is correct.
At 60 mph it reads around 2,700 rpm (the website chart http://www.ringpinion.com/Calc_RPM.aspx says 2,642 rpm)

Yippy!

Took her out for a ride today and finally made the magic 1000 mile mark on the car. So everything is run-in and still actually functioning.

Funny thing is that the a/c compressor finally stopped seeping oil and spraying it around the engine compartment. Of course that then lead me to double check that there was still freon in the system and that it didn't all leak out somewhere. Thankfully it is still holding pressure and blowing cold. So I guess it takes 1000 miles of run-in to get the compressor front seal, to seal.
