The sparplug wires are held in place now with the little brackets that are bolted on the back of the heads. Everything looks normal.
You can't go around in a ratrod with a fat gearshift, so I'm doing something about that. I straightened out an old gearshift that I had welded a 3/8" bolt on the end, and then mounted it in my big old drill. The other end has a wooden bushing in case there was some wobble. There was some wobble. But anyhow, I started the drill up and latched it and held an angle grinder against the fat gearshift lever. It is getting thinner, but it's taking more time than I thought it would. The second and third pictures are before and partway through the silly operation.
Today I found another pair of NOS glass lenses still in a cardboard box. They also were to too small.
