I just linish .020" off the flat face. I can't turn them on my lathe as they are hardened at the 3 lugs.

Yesterday actually- little dash globes arrived in the mail so added them to the wiring - How do you get those bleeding holders to stay in place? - they are hard to get into the holes in the first place (thought it was due to being new ) but once in they pop out again at the slightest provacation

Ordered some adj tiebars from Minispares for the van...

[edit] I should have bought them here from Karcraft, with Minispares' UPS ripoof freight cost, this would have been cheaper.

Finally fixed the ignition? fuel? WTF? fault in Gafmo's van. It was missing, farting, spitting, etc.
After swapping a coil and new plugs and trying a couple of needles, it turned out that the old Top Gun coil lead had had it. All the plug leads (Bosch) are fine.

Drove around on 3 cylinders. Found loose cable at the distributor. Drove on 4 cylinders. I think I like 4 cylinders better.
