The real reason is boat racing. They were designed to bolt on to a boss cast into Thickstun heads and protect the spark plugs from shorting out from the splashing water. Thicktun was friends with Frank Baron who was a big cracker jack racer. Thickstun died of a heart attack while making whoopie to a young lady up at the lakes.
