Re: Beautiful Day To Breakdown !
Can you give details on “1/8” pin stripe from Amazon” ? Are you saying you used pin stripe tape on them. If so, it seems the wheels are a harsh environment for tape?

Re: bedix???
The bolt will break on the modern one, just like the original. The difference is, it is contained and won’t fall to the bottom of the fly housing. IMHO, you should pull the starter every few thousand...

Re: spark plugs
I had the same thing happen but after explaining they found some. Several months ago I had to explain to Advance Auto what plastigage was. And they had some in the back.

Re: Pre Osha
If that were a model A and you didn’t drain the oil first, you would have a mess. Unless of course is was a grain truck.

Re: good spark at plugs but no Henry jiggle
Are you sure it’s an ignition problem? After trying to start the engine, are the plugs wet? I like to spray a little ether in, to see if it will cough, to prove whether the problem is fuel or spark....

Re: Tudor lost spark
Sometimes the “slots or tabs” aren’t quite the same size. Have you tried putting your old distributor back in, just to see if it will drop in?
