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
I think the end of the push rod is hardened to resist wear from pump action. Could that groove be part of the manufacturing process for use with more than one type of pump?

Re: Edelbrock 1107 4 barrel intake for 8ba
If you have access to a lathe, you could have a piece of stainless tubing turned down to the needed size. It would be easy to do. Is there a vocational school near you? A student could do it.
