Thanks for the compliment.
D - did you polish the brass spark strips too? 😉 Way too much time on your hands.

I have to admit to being hit with a dose of practicality. As cool as the original cap and strips are, a couple of weeks ago I installed a modern cap and wires to try to reduce RF interference with the CB I use on tours with the club. Too early to tell if it’s effective, haven’t been out on a tour with anyone to talk to yet.
