Re: Long Reach Plug
I also use NGK GR4 #2635. Length of threads is 3/4 in.
Length from bottom of washer to tip of electrode is 1 in.
They came with the heads I bought in 1999 from Mark Kirby (RIP).

Re: 8BA Tapping
Recheck the clamps that hold your mufflers in place. Make sure mufflers are not touching any part of the frame when engine is running.

Re: 8BA Flathead Fuel Pump Rod Groove
