Be very careful regarding items from KaleCoAuto. Their Roundtuit, for example, is far more complex than is necessary. I have a local source for them. They're wood, smaller, smooth to the touch, and have instructions imprinted on them. They are not only designated as roundtuits, but also as wooden nickels (on the other side). They're far more desirable, and they give them away!

You can buy all manner of fasteners in the same place!!

Ok, after perusing the KaleCoAuto sight, I have found the blinker fluid and Jupiter belts I was too embarrassed to ask you guys about.  Many thanks!

I used to buy them from the same place I bought my cans of overspray from.  I'll see if I can dig it up.

BBM for the street.......on pump gas.......NGK #BKR6E.  The best reasonably priced plug I have found for pump gas, and readily available.

What would you gap the NGK  or the Autolite 3924 plugs at ?

I gap all my plugs at 0.035 to 0.038.  I have never seen a power increase on the dyno by running a larger plug gap.

Same here.  I actually run most of the AR plugs out of the box, just checking to make sure they weren't damaged in shipping.
