My parts should be here this week sometimes, Ordered from Year One, I still have to order the long sleeves for the studs, There five of them, I'm going to get the stainless steel type, That should take care of the rusting up so bad, I'm going to get some spark plugs and wires and some cleaner and paint, This weekend I should have the motor finished and I'm hoping it will look as good as I picture it in my mind,:h If so I'm good there,...We'll see this weekend.:B
Mine also had these pieces of tin-work that were used as heat shields for the plug wires. They were a bit of a pain to put in with the manifolds and all. Needed like 7 hands to do the bolts, tin, manifolds all at the same time. One piece was missing and I ended up fabricating a mess that I clamped to the manifold itself to act as a plug wire heat shield.
It's either that or get some of that plug wire heat wrap stuff. I can easily see how a set of wires could get burned up that way.
