But I am excited tonight. My son instigated this, since my energy has
been flagging, and we finally cleaned up that set of old Fenton finned
aluminum heads that I bought 10 years ago and put them on my '50 Ford
coupe. We just finished up a little after midnight and haven't tried
to run it yet, but the engine looks great!!

I see, also, this latest thread about sparkplugs. The plugs that I've
had in the car (which runs but hasn't been on the road in the last six
years) are Champion H10C's. Any thoughts about better plugs,
particularly with the higher compression of the Fenton heads? And
would it make a difference in the type of plugs if I also install my
"hot" Mallory dual-point 6-volt distributor?

Autolite, Autolite, Autolite 216's I run them with my Offy 9.5 heads and
have
no problems I also use a Mallory unilite distributor with Mallory coil.
Champions are lawnmower plugs and won't hold up or even work.
