I brought them back, they ordered another set over night, I checked them right on the counter, one had no threads and the other only had some scratches where the thread should be. I went to another parts store, got a set, (Stanard brand) they were perfect except they don't have the brass sleeve that goes down over the stud. I guess you cain't have everything. Walt
Walt, When I was rebuilding distributors a few years ago, I was buying a dozen sets at a time. Perhaps 3 - 4 of those sets had one side not threaded. Easy enough to tap the hole but then again, why should you have to? I did but by principal was not pleased.
