    6V Battery Recommendations?

    We just got our long neglected 8N running and driving. When we needed a battery for it, last month I pulled the 9 year old Optima out of my 50 coupe. Still in there and I might have to steal it back for the car.

    Spark Plug Wires

    I drank the copper wire coolaid long ago. 60 years of kick start motorcycles made a believer out of me. I put copper on anything it won't blow out.

    50 8N Piston Ring Spacer?

    Aesthetic profit perhaps. I do have micrometers, but don't ever fully trust my ID measurements. My highly valued engine shop guy always gets just a little different number. Thanks for helpful advice.

    Because these days rebuilding engines is about all I do. Keeps me occupied, I enjoy it. Ford V8s and vintage motorcycles mostly. I'd hate to have to play golf or go fishing. Thanks, everybody!

    50 8N Piston Ring Spacer?

    I wasn't intentionally rejecting the forum's majority opinion, just hate to discard something usable. Or as this one guy over on the Ford Barn or HAMB says: "don't never throw nothin away." Be a while before I get my block back, I've been reading old posts here. Thanks!!

    50 8N Piston Ring Spacer?

    Thanks a lot everyone. Maybe I'm just resistant to adding 4 more pistons to my used parts pile which nobody will ever want.

    50 8N Piston Ring Spacer?

    I just tried the search function here, gotta learn how to refine my search a little. I've pulled apart a well used engine and taken the bare block to the machine shop.
